Description

In this episode I look at Jesus's response to the Pharisees and Herodians question about paying taxes to Rome. Jesus replies, "Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”

I argue that Jesus is urging us to shift our point of view entirely about worldly authority, and recognize instead the authority of a loving God.
