Here is the Stand on the Word reading for today:
Matthew 22-23 ESV | NKJV | AUDIO
Reflection Questions:
1) In Jesus' answer to the religious leaders about paying taxes to the Roman government, what principles might apply to our patriotic duty as citizens in America (see 22:15-22)?
- Support our government (see Matt. 17:24-27; Rom. 13:5-7)
- Seek God for our government leaders (see 1 Tim. 2:1-4)
- Submit to our government leaders and laws (see 1 Pet. 2:13-14; Rom. 13:2-5)
- Stand up to our government when it condemns what God commands or commands what God condemns (see Acts 5:29)
- All of the above
2) What did Jesus desire for Jerusalem (see 23:37-39)?
