Matthew 22:15-21
The Pharisees came to Jesus and sought to entangle Him in His talk. In
verse 17, they ask, "Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?"
Jesus then asked them for a coin and asked, "Whose is this image and
superscription? 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."
The tribute money that was given to Jesus that day, with inscribed with
Caesar's likeness, much like our coins today. Therefore, Jesus said they belong to Caesar, give them to him. But WE are made in God's likeness and He breathed life into us, as a result, shouldn't WE give ourselves to God?
