“Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s” (v25). The religious leaders tried to trap Jesus in an unanswerable question that would get him trouble (v20), but Jesus’ answer silenced his questioners (v26). The image on the coin belonged to Caesar, but the image stamped on our souls belongs to God alone (Gen 1:26-27). 

We have earthly responsibilities as part of families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and nations. However, our deepest loyalty and devotion belongs to the Creator who formed us in His likeness, and His calling on our lives supersedes any other allegiances.
