Jesus was challenged on the question of paying taxes to Caesar and asked to see the coin with which the taxes were paid. Jesus said render unto Caesar the things that are Caesars, and unto God the things that are Gods. This reply silenced Jesus critics, but does it leave you with any further questions about Gods purpose? Was this an affirmation of civic duty? Was it instruction to distinguish between this world and Gods Kingdom? It was these and more besides, for it was an even greater affirmation that the things of God are better than the things of Caesar. The same principle applies to any earthly government. Pay your taxes, but lay up your treasure in heaven.
