Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's. But you bear the image of God, so render to God the things that are God's.
We are God’s vineyard, and we each have been given stewardship within that vineyard, stewardship of ourselves, of our gifts and abilities, and maybe even stewardship of others, our families or groups within the church family. We must be faithful to the Owner and Builder of the vineyard built on the Cornerstone of Jesus Christ and faithfully submit to Him all the fruit that we bear.
All authority is given to Jesus. All authority over our minds, over our morals, over our attitudes, over our politics, over our mouths, over our keyboards, over our votes… Will we submit to Him?
The Temple once stood as a symbol of God’s presence among His people, but here it stood as a symbol of empty and lifeless religion. Jesus went to the Temple and looked around to see if he could find faith, and He found none. When Jesus surveys His Church what will He see, what will He find? Full of people but empty of faith? Full of activity but empty of worship?
Alistair Begg said, “You’ll never know Jesus as a reality until you see Him as a necessity.” That’s what blind Bartimaeus saw, he saw Jesus as a necessity first, and then saw Him as a reality. The same can be true of us, when we see Jesus as a necessity, we will see Him as a reality.
