The dreaded Tax Day is just around the corner. Do you take the condition of your taxes more seriously than the condition of your soul? The Pharisees were out to get Jesus. They wanted him out of their lives so much that they were willing to join forces with their enemies, the Herodians, to trap Him. They were hoping Jesus would either command followers to reject paying Roman taxes leading to His arrest for insurrection, or command them to pay taxes in a way that would lead the people to turn against Him as a Roman sympathizer. Instead, Jesus established true Authority which should have led any person concerned with honoring God to audit their soul. How should we respond to God’s authority as it pertains to the authority of the government and more importantly the condition of our souls?
