Give to God
Read the Story
Jesus told a story about a king who made a wedding feast for his son. The guests he invited would not come. So the king sent his servants to invite everyone they could find on the roads. The wedding hall was filled with guests. God invites all people to His Kingdom.
Some men tried to trap Jesus. They asked if they should pay taxes to Caesar. Jesus asked whose picture was on a coin. They said, "Caesar's." Jesus said, "Give therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."
A teacher of the law asked which command was greatest. Jesus said, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind." He said the second is to love your neighbor as yourself.
