Bible Question:
explain matthews 22:15-22,and what does it mean now to our everyday life |
Bible Answer: The Pharisees try to caught Jesus that He maybe suggested that it is good to give to God instead of giving to cesar. So that they can accused Him anything that can cause Him to be in prison or whatsoever penalty it maybe. They are taking about taxes for the government of cesar and offering for the Lord. If we read the verse we will see that Christ really not against taxation He is ready to follow or taught to us that we should give what due to our government and give what due to our God. How does it apply to our everyday life? giving due to God or due to our government does not only apply to money. Give to God what due to God by helping the church our co members and other people. We can give due to our government by oserving the law rules or whatsoever, supporting the efforts of the government including paying exact tax that required us to give. God bless, Johnny Mt 22:15 ΒΆ Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. Mt 22:16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. Mt 22:17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? Mt 22:18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Mt 22:19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. Mt 22:20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? Mt 22:21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. Mt 22:22 When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. |
