Death and Taxes

In this sermon by Cheri Young, we explore two key moments in Jesus's life. First, he predicts his own death to prepare his disciples for the future. Then, he demonstrates his identity as a king by addressing the issue of taxes. While Jesus has the authority to exempt himself, he chooses not to cause offense and pays the temple tax. This sermon highlights how Jesus, as our king, willingly embraced the human experience, from everyday struggles to ultimate sacrifice, showing empathy and grace to all.
