The Character of Jesus - RESPONDING WISELY

Read Mark 12:13-17.

"'Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's.' And they were amazed at Him." (v. 17)

Jesus knew what these people were trying to do to Him. He discerned their hypocrisy. So, He gave them an answer which satisfied them and the crowd, and respected authority.

I need to depend on God for His godly wisdom when answering critics and those who would seek to entrap me. God, let me not lean on my own understanding but on Yours.
