Theme for the Week: THE CHRISTIAN AND CIVIL RESPONSIBILITY– CHRISTIANS' OBLIGATION TO PAY TAX
Reading: Matthew 17:24-27
_______________________
Matthew 17:27 NIV
[27] “But so that we may not cause offense, go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a four-drachma coin. Take it and give it to them for my tax and yours.”
Jesus exemplifies the importance of paying taxes even though He could have claimed exemption as the Son of God. His humility in fulfilling this civil obligation teaches us to respect and honor our responsibilities within society.
By paying taxes, we show integrity and obedience, trusting that God will provide for our needs.
As followers of Christ, we are called to follow His example in fulfilling our duties with humility and faithfulness.
Selah.
Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we praise You. Lord, grant us the grace to follow the example of Christ in all areas of life, including our financial responsibilities, in Jesus' name. Amen.
