There were spies sent out to try to trap Me into saying or doing something that would have Me arrested by the Roman officials when I walked on Earth. They asked Me, "Is it lawful for us to give tribute to Caesar, or not?" I then asked them to show Me a penny and then I asked them, "Whose image and superscription has it?" They answered and said," Caesar's." I responded, "Render therefore unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's."
The word, "render" means to surrender a payment. Everything in this world belongs to My heavenly Father. Your life, your belongings, and even your beloved belong to My Father. You are simply a steward of those things that are precious to you.
You belong to Me, and I paid for you with My own blood when I died on the tree. You are My special treasure, and it was My pleasure to die for you and to pay a debt that I did not owe. What can you give Me in return? Render unto Me all the things that belong to My Father: yourself, your belongings, and your beloved. When you give those precious things to Me, I then am able to take care of them because I am the Master of your household.
