His Dad Justin spoke in church this morning
from Luke 20;20-26
20Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be honest. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor. 21So the spies questioned him: "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. 22Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?"
23He saw through their duplicity and said to them, 24"Show me a denarius. Whose portrait and inscription are on it?"
25"Caesar's," they replied. He said to them, "Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."
26They were unable to trap him in what he had said there in public. And astonished by his answer, they became silent.

Justin 's one point was-
Why did Jesus ask his clever interviewers
to give to Caesar what belonged to him?
Obviously the coin ,because it had Caesar 's image on it so it belonged to him
Subsequently, what are we to render to God which
Subsequently, what are we to render to God which
has God 's image on it?
The answer is found in
Genesis 1;27
'And God created man in His own image,
in the image of God He created them
male and female He created them".
We have God stamp or image upon us.
We belong to God.
So let us offer ourselves to Him.
