Reflecting on Scripture 3 - Mark 12:13-17 - Giving to Caesar

from The Heart and the Head Hosted by Dr. Brenton G. Smith

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. -------------- If you have questions or comments about content from this episode, please send feedback to [email protected] The passage I’ll look at for the next show will be the account of the Tower of Babel, found in Genesis 11.
