Summary
When adversaries try to trap Jesus with the tax question, his answer confounds them. What belongs to Caesar and what belongs to God? This question is about something much bigger than tax policy. During WW2, the people in and around Le Chambon sur Lignon, France, harbored Jewish people at risk of their own lives. Led by Pastor Andre Trocme and others, they put the authority of the gospel and care for neighbor above civil authorities. Our live of faith as Christians are highly personal, but never private. In baptism we are marked for a public ministry as part of the body of Christ.
