The word, "render," means to restore back, surrender, present or submit. The Pharisees were always looking for a way to entangle Me. After they tried to flatter Me, they asked Me this question: "Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar or not?"
I asked them to show me the tribute money, and then I asked them whose image and superscription was on the coin. They exclaimed, "Caesar's." I then responded, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's; and to God the things that are God's."
They failed to see the point. Caesar owns nothing because everything that has been created was created by Me and for Me. So many in the world do not understand this truth. Because you understand this truth, hold everything I have loaned you lightly in your open hands, and be willing to let go and give.
MATTHEW 22:16-21; COLOSSIANS 1:16
