Image, Ownership, and Obligation

Luke 20:19-26 | JD Summers

What authority does human government have in the life of a believer? This question was on the minds of contemporaries of Jesus even as it is on our minds today. Thankfully, the answer Jesus’ provided during his time on earth still bears true as well. God has ordained that human government has legitimate, though limited, authority. But even as we submit to human government, we should turn our attention more preeminently to our submission in all things to God. The Lord has ultimate and limitless authority, and our duty to worship him trumps any other responsibility. Are you rendering to him what he rightly deserves?
