Matthew 22:15-22. "How Can a Christian Understand Politics?"

Have you ever came into crossroads with one of the very common Christian dilemmas: How should I react to the ones in authority as a Christian? In Matthew 22, verses 15 to 22, we find an intriguing encounter between Jesus and the Pharisees. They approached him with a challenging question: "Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar or not?", such a simple question delves deep into the complexities of government and faith. In this passage, Jesus offers a profound response, highlighting the importance of rendering to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's. Join us as we explore the implications of this encounter and how it has shaped Christian perspectives on the relationship between government and faith throughout history.
