CHRISTIANS AND THEIR GOVERNMENT
Luke 20:20-21
Christ's enemies were busy at the task of trying to entrap
Him in His speech and arouse disfavor toward Him. The
Pharisees and Herodians met. exchanged ideas, formed an
alliance in opposition to Him and concocted a clever
scheme to lure Him into self-incrimination.
These unscrupulous enemies were not interested in the
truth, but were seeking an admission from Christ which
they could twist into a charge against Him.
These critics asked Christ an exceedingly subtle ques
tion. They asked, "Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto
Caesar, or no?" In other words, they asked: "Is it lawful to
pay taxes to the Roman government?" If Christ has
answered their questions in the affirmative, they would
have reported Him as being disloyal to the Jewish nation. If
Christ had answered in the negative, they would have
branded Him as a seditionist.
Perceiving their craftiness, Christ commanded them to
show Him a denarius, one of the coins they used in ordinary
business transactions. When they had done so, He asked
them to tell Him whose likeness and superscription ap
peared thereon. Of course, they had to reply, "Caesar's."
Christ clearly and pointedly enunciated the principle of
duty to government and duty to God.
A Christian's obligation to God must never be infringed
upon by his obligation to his government. In the event there
is any conflict between God and the government, the Chris
tian's duty to God must take precedence over his duty to
the government.
Romans 13:1-7
A Christian should abide by the laws of his city, county,
state, and nation, and be submissive to the government
unless it should require him to disobey God. The limioatk?
of the Christian's responsibility to be subject to the earthly
powers begins only when such subjections contravenes the
plain teachings of the word of God. Always a Christian
must obey God in preference to obeying man.
One must obey the law not simply to escape the conse
quences of wrongdoing, but for the sake of his own cons
cience which tells him to do right. Moreover, he owes it to
his fellowmen, over whom he has influence, to be a law
abiding citizen. It is impossible to disobey God without in
curring His displeasure and receiving the due reward for
doing so, just as certainly as rebellion against the govern
ment and violation of the law cannot go unpunished.
It is incumbent upon the Christian that he pay taxes. The
payment of taxes is both an acknowledgment of subjection
to the government and the discharge of an obligation to pay
for numerous services rendered. We are not to evade our
earthly responsibilities. Christians should be better
citizens than those who do not claim to be followers of
Christ.
