If we render unto God…

If we render unto God all the things that belong to God, there would be nothing left for Caesar’ (Dorothy Day)I find Dorothy Day’s interpretation excellent when it comes to the possible meaning of Mark 12:17. “Well, then,” Jesus said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.” His reply completely amazed them.” (NLT) What if the whole point is that he (Caesar, ‘the man’) owns nothing? Sure he’ll have his coin for a time, but not for long. He can have his stinking taxes. Will it bring him glory? Will it lift his empire to be greater than the Kingdom of God? “No, for all the nations of the world are but a drop in the bucket. They are nothing more than dust on the scales. He picks up the whole earth as though it were a grain of sand.” (Is 40:15 NLT)
