Render unto God the things of God

 October 22, 2023

“Render unto Caesar the things of Caesar; Render unto God the things of God.”  (Matthew 22:21)

What does Jesus mean here?  That we should have two separate lives — one for the secular world and one for the spiritual kingdom?

Nope!  

Jesus calls us to live as disciples in the real world and in fact, calls the Pharisees hypocrites for not doing this.

So what might it look like to “render unto God”?  A reflection on humility, faith and thanksgiving.
