Hello,

Well no crashing out this weekend. If this is a preview of my retirement it will not be slow. Spent most of the weekend in the car, visiting my Mom and shuttling people around. Now trying to catch up with my housework. People say I’ll be sitting around bored when I retire. I really don’t think so.

We are done with government for awhile. Today we will be doing people whose lives were changed in the New Testament. I always love these stories and the best thing is that the stories are happening to this very day. Jesus is still changing lives. That is more good news.

Thanks for the comments and questions. I always enjoy them because it means people are reading.

The Pharisees and also the Herodians also tried to trip up Jesus on Roman taxes. By asking about them they hoped to show him as a Roman sympathizer or a traitor to Rome. Jesus confounded them in his answer. What was his final answer to them? Be specific here.

Jesus asked for the money used to pay the taxes. When he asked them whose picture was on it. When they answered Caesar’s his answer was. “Render onto Caesar those things that are Caesar’s and unto God the things that are God’s.”
