Render: Give it Back, Part 2

Greetings friends new listeners welcome to our program. Sharon not thanking you for joining us today because we know that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. I'm excited to share this message with you render give it back. You know absolutely love the way Jesus spoke with such authority and power and race but also how cleverly he was able to make his antagonist Pharisees and the Sadducees, and others put their feet in their own mouth every time they conspired to trap him in his words, and one particular day was unusually amusing, especially when money and paying taxes was the subject and render give it back to see where this takes us worry Matthew 22 we are going to get down to verse 15 and I say that because I said this is the day when they all came to attack Jesus. Okay, it was the Pharisees and the Herodian that came to what happened with the story that were to read today that these as I told you a moment ago did not believe in the resurrection date came and asked Jesus painted this hypothesis. This woman got married. Her husband died, she remarried Dr. Maggie died, she remarried he died she remarried. He died, she remarried and he died, she married a guy you outlived three and that was sister McKinney Johnny Carver's mother. She outlived three husbands, but seven husband came and brought Jesus. The story this morning. They all die and smartly they said so it will be your husband in the resurrection whose wife is she going to be in the resurrection and the resurrection stump Jesus and he would not answer anything you do air as you don't love the Scriptures and you don't know the power of God, the power of God is, he can raise the dead, and all these different ones come in and guess what the lawyers asked him what is the greatest commandment. Their little piece that they brought Jesus were going to see what the Pharisees and the Herodian said in and we will begin in verse 15, the Pharisees and took counsel how they might entangle him in his to cancel. They got other people to know other sex to join in and Luke says that they sent out spies, and they sent out on him their disciples. Luke sensed by the disciples wrote again master. We know that thou art true and teaches the way of God in truth that's really flattered now, neither Karis now for any man for that regard is not the person of men was therefore think is lawful to give tribute on Caesar or not. But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said why she me hypocrites show me the tribute money and they brought in him opinion and he said on the Dan who is this image and subscription and they said on him. Caesar then he said under them, render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's, and ongoing, God the things which are God's. And when they had heard these things, they marveled and left him and went their way. I can imagine that the air was just sucked out of the whole atmosphere. Everybody was the good question should a very good question. So they came and they thought that they had crafted a question where they could stump Jesus and that was the whole purpose to try to catch him in his words, they started all with flattery.

Many know when anybody approaches you and the first 50 to 60 seconds with flattery, you know you're in trouble. You just know you should you just start stiffen up.

As you know what is coming now. They prepped him with renascent sister and see the word master in Hebrew is, and we think of Rabbi and we say teacher in the correct but I want you to know what the word not mean the meaning of rock is great. One when you want to say greatest not to call Rob the one so when master right one.

Why did they call a teacher a great one because in the mindset of the Jewish people. That is the greatest calling of all is to be a teacher of God's word. Someone it was a good call Rob great one, and so they didn't believe that Jesus was a teacher in God's word but just the head and they started off with great we know are true and does speak the word of God truly and rightly and you do not reach without favoritism or fear you.

Don't worry about not even accept the OGC what so you straighten up Jesus and you never had any respect of persons not even Caesar.

As you speak the truth, so we want to ask you what you think about paying taxes, you know, that's all we hear right now I don't care what party they belong to, or any of that stuff, everybody's talking about taxes they have fought for this year in the house of Congress and the Senate over the people, taxes you know your payroll taxes would have been reduced for about a year and they were even for Dragon to close the government and shut down because they wouldn't pass that ended the fact is that they get past that they did pass the larger bill had to do with the budget and they were ready to shut everything down because some wanted to keep the payroll taxes where they are cut some wanted say okay and I'm not nuts mentioning parties and the one party said you keep in the table taxes cut but you cannot find the money to pay for we can keep increasing the said so you got something else somewhere, something to make up for keep up and the other parties that will include no we spend more and more normal regular about anything which means that goes up and up and up and finally the other side cave-in said okay will pass it to what happened.

You keep your payroll taxes cut senior keep seeing the same amount in your pay otherwise would seem like your pay, but they just added hundred billion dollars to the deficit. So when you start talking about taxes people get really emotional amen people that are usually got a very gentle, what about them.

All of a sudden they get very very we want to know what is lawful to pay taxes or not understanding what they said is it lawful, they were not talking about Roman talking about God's law law law taxes. When you think about that. You see, up to that point as hard as they tried they had ever been able to when any religious matter. They had tried over and over, but when it came to religious issues or any all that had to do with the law of Moses had once been able trip they thought we we got the perfect scenario to snare him when Marion is in a lose lose situation here because they said no, God's people should be paid to the pagan Rome Romans. What's what happened. The Romans are going to come and lock them up for inciting the people not to pay taxes, pay taxes to the Romans, because we were living that you women going against the word of God. Why because taxes due are meant Romans created at the mercy of Jesus in the corner that he could not possibly ever get out he was in a position where either way he was going to be in trouble because if he said no taxes, no spies would tuneup to we got an insurrectionist case telling people not to pay her taxes. The route I believe you mean Rome is a network because their armies were so huge and they were concreting bowling they needed money to feed all those in their armies think the piece from where they had their empire had grown so greatly. But you know if he would say no, they were just hoping I believe it was because we know so far, he's never crossed the law of Moses. So far we've never been able to catch because if he says no you should be paying taxes to Rome. Rome will do our dirty work and will be done with him once and for all and will save you go about teaching called us we could service up in prison and that's what they thought but we saw here that Jesus perceived and if you go to Luke don't go there. But Luke says, but Jesus perceived their craftiness, their craftiness, he said, why are you tempted me, you hypocrites, you don't mean one word you said that I am true and I only preach the truth and on old biker flattery. I love what he said show me the money to show amen show me the money.

Some people when a volunteer company in the penny I went to money. I just want you to look. I want you to look at it now if it really was a denarius, which was of Roman coin and here's why. Ask about all the questions about our money. 11 side of the did Mary guess was the image of Caesar, we see George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, they have the image of Caesar and the Caesar that was Caesar at that time, perceived as just another word for me but the one he was in power at that time is Tiberius, and so they had one side was a picture of Caesar, Tiberius, the Roman Emperor and the inscription said that this Tiberius Caesar Augustus son all the divine Augustus you see a DOS this was his father. At one point in his reign declared himself to be a God. He said it was thought that he was divine. So on their money was inscribed Tiberius Caesar Augustus, son of the devil by Augustus on the side of the coin. Listen to this was inscribed she priest so he saw himself as both the role or the Emperor divine and the chief priest Tiberius father. As I said he had demanded that people worship him as deity. That is something that no Jew, no Jew would ever done. Amen. And that's one reason on the Romans so much they would not in any way cooperate with their type worship, you were not going to get you to say I worship Tiberius Caesar not what happened when Jesus said in his image, and whose subscription is on this point and they all were yelling out summer you were saying Washington and Jefferson but they only had one when all their money and what they didn't realize every last one of the just put their foot right in their mouth. Amen anything that was the reason why there had to be money changers you see the word moneychangers will what is that because there's no way no way that any Jew would going into the temple with a coin in his hand was Caesar's picture on it would've violated the first and second commandments downtown have no other gods before me. And it's really literally no other gods in my face, and thou shall not make any graven image, so it was impossible for them to take that money Roman coin into the temple of moneychangers, I give you my Roman coin you give me your Hebrew shekel I give you my did Mary his mother shekel.

They had a happy shekel, so change the money from the Roman money to the Hebrew money because they would not bring anything into the house of God for some other person's image, who said they were God and divine, and you must worship me. Amen. And so the problem with the moneychangers was there.

They begin to cheat the people they begin the Cheadle every morning getting back that's another whole issue.

So we have Internet on that coin sure is it the description. What this amen.

And what Jesus said, he said, render therefore the things on the Caesar which are Caesar's render unto God. Therefore, the things that are God's. Now when ask you a question. Feel free to answer. What does the word render me. I hear a lot of people say give it you think it means again raise your hand how many things that mean something else, something funny is going on here because I thought a few people say it means giving us all the people saving something out. So what you doing waiting for. That was very, very wise. Well that and you believe it means give.

I mean really here, here, you're right.

We got the technical here, but we have to get with the technical answer is to give. But it's not accurate honor you are okay with the work get what you have to say it this way, did back to how many see there's a difference between give and get back how many don't see it, you were very smart not raise your hand so we just say again to Caesar what is Caesar's Caesar what is Caesar's is the one that day the orders were not going to be minted that way, and he based on their prior himself to be the divine to be worthy of worship and to be the chief priests rounding those points and money money money but also did to God the things that are God's.

How many see that that you must understand that the word means that give back to Caesar what belongs to him, but give back to God what belongs in areas belong to God, God would not have anything to do with that coin because it board the man who claims to be going… Back to back to Caesar but get back to God the things that are his. Now when they heard his words, they marveled, they held their peace for the first time they were utterly speechless right there was a feat in itself.

I love the Scripture nothing about it right now.

The crappie was taken in their craftiness.

Amen. Because the Scripture says he disappoints the devices of the crappie so that their hands perform their enterprise. I love that verse that the Joe he takes the wise in their own practice so they probably failed and now they were quite embarrassed. They were so humiliated. People walk around.

Can you believe why he is and how foolish he made them look amen. Okay, now here's what we really want to render to Caesar the things are Caesar's get back to Caesar the things that are Caesar's render to God the things that are not getting back to God the things that are God's. I have another question for you. Where on this earth is the image of God in great what on this earth bears the image of God, is it our penny know that Abraham is it our nipple note we said Thomas Jefferson, is it our quarter no George Washington. I have found our dollar. We found out Sacajawea and we found to be Anthony, and our bills are five dollar bills and a $10 bill are 20 we went on with $100,000.amen. So what is the image of it means when he came. Romans 829 and everyone conforming to be made in the image of the put off the old man according about the board had put on the new show on the spirit is not included. Give it back to amen. The third chapter verse 16. Know ye are the temple of God, the Spirit of God dwell in you and the father temple of the light, the temple of God is willing which you we saw that when Jesus is beginning to end, the temple of God and in Scripture and body that God brought you the six chapter started verse 12 and all things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the ball thing. Amen. Meats for the belly and the belly for the meat. But God now the body is not for fornication but for the Lord and the Lord for the body and God raised up the Lord and will also raise us up by his own power. Know that your bodies are the members of Christ shall not take, then the members of Christ and make them the members of the Harley or prostitute. What know ye not that he would just going to a harlot is one body for two safety shall be one now were talking about the sexual union but fornication, unlawful sex, everything that Amanda is without the body, but he that committed fornication sin against his own body. What know that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which you have of God and you are not your own. So he making a lot of remarks here that we need to look at your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you and really if you read in the Greek it's it's another sense he's assuming that anything you if it really be true. Another words he put it this way so you have the Holy Ghost then realize your body gets his temple. Amen. Obviously he's not in you. If you have joined yourself to sin. But you claim the Holy Ghost, that no your body is his temple. Amen. So you better not because what I love verse 24, ye are bought with my body, which are God's word on what is God's spirit or soul in your body to be holy under him and yourself because when you find yourself you are defiling the temple of God and if you temple of God. We see what Jesus did.

He went in there and clean house and he didn't tiptoe around anything and that's what the Holy Ghost is going to do because he wants to wait. Amen we must keep our bodies unlocked. The seventh chapter 24 wherefore love that we want all my body with father would know no guilt, no shame.

I don't think twice about. I'm here today but when I have seen in my life when I know there sin in my life.

I don't do that. I have the fear of God upon me, and I know that before I can run backup and think I'm a father I get the sin out.

I got a get plants and I'm not going to go in the whole category get out the catalog because the beer too long, but in the context of where we are and what we just read.

There are two major sins that the file the body. How many saw gluttony over eating and fornication over eating and un-sanctified sex that would fornication me only sanctified sex. There is between a husband and wife all the rest of unsanctified. Here's the thing about the sense why these are so problematic. Both of them were dealing with normal amen God designed us with altogether safe, shall not, amen.

I hope you're enjoying this message, render, give it back. You know, the day Jesus spoke these words had to be one of the most intense and yet amusing days of his ministry. I'll call it the boomerang day because on this one day he was confronted by the Pharisees and their spies, the Sadducees, the Herodian's the lawyers asking questions they thought would trap him in his words, the chief priests were furious because Jesus had cleansed the temple throwing out the money changers declaring my father's house is a house of prayer and you have made it a den of thieves. This had to stop.

He was exerting too much authority. The funny thing is, the Pharisees and Sadducees were usually arguing with one another, much like our Democrats and Republicans today, but in a joint effort they conspired to challenge Jesus on whether or not to pay taxes to Caesar if he said yes, the people would rise up because they hated paying taxes to Rome and God never intended Israel to be enslaved to another nation if he said no, they could seize him and take him to Pilate for rebellion against Caesar. But Jesus took the crafty in his craftiness, show me the money. He said the Roman denarius for the image of Caesar and the inscription that he was divine and there is no way one of those coins would've been given in the temple and show the need for money changers. When Jesus said render to Caesar and render to God the term means to did back someone's property. Roman coins belong to Rome, and that which bears the image of God on earth belongs to God. If you're a Christian, that is, you get back to God. Your body which is his temple on earth. This message render give it back is full of nuggets you don't want to miss.
