Matthew: The King and His Kingdom

You Belong to God
In Matthew 22:15-22, the Pharisees and Herodians attempt to trap Jesus with a question about paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus responds with wisdom, pointing to a Roman coin and stating, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.” The sermon emphasizes that while we have obligations to earthly authorities, our ultimate allegiance is to God. Just as the coin bears Caesar’s image and belongs to him, we bear God’s image and belong entirely to Him. This truth challenges us to live in a way that reflects our identity as God’s people, giving Him our hearts, our worship, and our very lives.
