b'In Matthew 22 some religious and political leaders, who were opposed to Jesus, plotted to trap Him in His words with a question about taxes. They assumed that the controversial topic would cause Jesus to alienate people depending on His answer. But Jesus responds with the wisdom of heaven and encourages people to give \\u201cto Caesar what is Caesar\\u2019s and to God what is God\\u2019s.\\u201d Yes, he made a statement that it\\u2019s our civic duty to pay our taxes, but the bigger point He was making had to do with giving to God what belongs to Him\\u2014our very lives. We bear His image and were made in His likeness and we will only find real fulfillment and purpose in life when we return to our rightful owner\\u2014Jesus.'
