Giving to God and Caesar Mt. 22:15-21
While Jesus says, “Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.”
More often what people want to know is,
What does Caesar owe us?
And what does God owe us?
After all, We pay our taxes;
Does not the government owe us something for all those taxes;
We come to Church,
Does not God owe us something for our time and prayers;
I cannot address the question of what Caesar owes us.
But I can address the question of what God owes us.
To find out what God owes us;
We must first sit down and make a list of what God has given to us
and what God has done for us;
The process of actually sitting down and making a list all that God has done for you,
Will be transformative.
And after looking at the list of what God has done;
We will better understand what it is that we owe God.
The answer then will be very simple;
God owes us nothing;
While We owe God everything.
