Commentary

If you were hoping for a Biblical way to not pay your taxes, you’re out of luck. Caesar, or Uncle Sam, is to be paid what he is owed. But Jesus brings home a bigger point here too. Give to God what is God’s. And what is God’s? How about everything. That you have to honor God with every penny.
