Matthew 22:18-22
Welcome to our Online Bible Study.
We are glad that you are here.
Please, take some time to Share Your Thoughts With Us as they relate to Matthew chapter 22.
You can share anything that is on your heart but, if you don't know where to start, try reading these verses and answering one or more of the following "Honest Questions"
Matthew 22:18-22 - But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, “Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites? 19 Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax.” And they brought Him a denarius. 20 And He *said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” 21 They *said to Him, “Caesar’s.” Then He *said to them, “Then render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and to God the things that are God’s.” 22 And hearing this, they were amazed, and leaving Him, they went away.
Honest Questions:
1. Why do you think the religious leaders wanted to trap Jesus in His teaching?
2. How does a person's reputation impact your willingness to listen to the message they are delivering?
3. Do you think of yourself as a very perceptive person?
4. Which of these things do you think are most present in your heart when it comes to the teaching of Jesus, malice, testing, hypocrisy, or amazement? Why?
5. Have you ever thought about the fact that Jesus is saying that since the coin was made in the image of Caesar, give it to Caesar but, since you are made in the image of God, God expects you to give yourself to Him?
6. Does it surprise you that these people went from malice and hypocrisy to amazement when talking with Jesus and does it surprise you that even though they were amazed they seem to be unchanged as they walk away?
7. Have you ever heard my teaching about why we pay taxes and why we pay tithes? If so, what do you think about it?
8. Is your church doing anything specific to prepare its members to make an educated vote in November?
9. What was your favorite verse in Matthew 22 and why?
10. Do you have any specific questions or prayer requests after reading Matthew 22?
