On Sunday, Jesus calls us to “render unto God what is God’s.” To make his point, he asks his questioners in the Temple whose image is on a coin. It was Caesar’s. Jesus reminds us that Caesar may claim what bears his stamp, but God claims what bears the image of the divine: our lives, our choices, our devotion.
The forecast predicts sunshine. Regardless of the weather, I’m looking forward to Sunday, when we gather in church and online, to celebrate God’s presence and the joy of belonging to the One whose image we bear.
