BUTLER TEAM LOSES

work. They had tried to raise an ar
gument with Jesus and failed.
The Pharisees were the patriotic
party and claimed that the Jew's
were God’s chosen people, and as
such they were entitled to supreme
authority in everything in all the
realm.
Tlie Hcroditians were the privi-
legeu class at court. They were al
ways at naggers’ points. They for
got these diiterences and formed a
confederated conspiracy, it is well to
note nere that they were both bitter
loes ol Jesus. True they fought each
other, but were such fiendish foes of
Jesus that they joined hands in a
semblance of friendship in opposing
Jesus. Evil people and evil nations
will join enemies in opposing the
Lord. “The Icings of the earth set
themselves and tne rulers take coun
sel together against the Lord and
against his anointed saying let us
break their bonds assunder and cast
away their cords from us. He that
sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
ihe Lord shall lave them in derision."
This prophecy was fulfilled to tha
tittle in and by this incident.
The Question of Taxes
It is an evident fact that these
people had studied well the attack
they aimed to make on Jesus. Tney
started off by flattering him. They
told him how- good and true as a
man he was. They knew what they
were saying about Christ was true
but they spoke it in a flattering way
and it was an insult to him by the
way it was spoken. He well knew
that they were acting the hypocrite
with him. Notice in what a cunning
way they put the question: “Is it
lawful to give tribute to Caesar, oi
not?” Ordinarily the question would
be answered “yes” or “no." Had
Jesus have answered either way
they would have had him trapped
and just where they w-anted him.
They were in hopes that that he
would answer no. Had he have said
no, they, would have made a charge
of disloyalty and as being a seditious
person, and deliver him to the au
thority of the governor, had he have
answered yes, they would have ac
cused him peiore the people as op
posed to the law of God. Either way
they thought they would get him in
a corner that he could not escape
from. He was entirely top wise tho
to bo thus easily trapped. The
Pharisees contended that paying trib
ute to a foreign power was contrary
to the law of Moses. This interpreta
tion of the law was based more upon
sentimen than common sense. Had he
have said no, he would have been
brought before the governor as a
rebel against the Roman government.
They failed to put Jesus ini a dilema
about answering them. Jesus did not
try to evade them, but he did drive
home to them an eternal principle by
the answer he gave them. He said to
them, “bring me q penny that I may
see it.’ Tribute had to be paid in the
coin o f Rome. He asked them when
he had been handed the penny,
“whose is this image and super
stition”? Immediately they replied
to him that it was Caesar’s. If the
questioner did not know it the ones
who were behind the plot'knew that

to accept the coin of a realm impos
ed' an obligation to recognize and ac
cept his soverignty. He answered
them “render unto Caesar the things
tao-t are Caesars.” This did not la
bel him as a disloyal or seditious;
on the other hand it was telling them
to be good citizens.
Good Citizenship
This answer did not sound good to
the Pharisees. They had asked him
about giving to Caesar. He tells them
that citizenship costs something ami
must be paid for. This did not mean
then nor does it mean now that we
must endorse everything the govern
ment recommends.
me neroditians seemed to have
heartily endorsed his attitude towuri
the government but were not :n ac
cord With ail that he said for he
sanl- lor he turned to them and said
lurther, - ana to God the things that
are God's’’. Neither group was com
pletely pleased and satisfied. There
was nothing they could do about it.
AH they could no was to marvel at
the sublime answer and move on.
the Christian ought to be the best
citizen, because if he is a enrist an
he has in him all the qualities of
citizenship. One muy • make a good
citizen and not be a Christian but it
is much easier to be a good citizen
u one is a Christian. One cannot be
a good Christian and not be a goou
citizen.
Let s agree with Llnvj'.n when hr
said, “let us have faith to believe
that right makes might. Christians
should inform themselves concerning
affairs of government.’’ Functioning
of our governmental agencies are a
prerequisite of good citizenship. A
Christian should exeorcise the rights
of franchise. The franoh-se is one ot
the most powerful agencies of gov
ernment. To fail to exercise our
right of franchise is but a little
short of abdication of citizenship.
This question that was Hiked Jesus
was prompted by an evil motive. Had
Jesus have answered yes, it would
have arrayed f he people against him.
Throughout all his ministry Jesus
would 1 have the written law placed
above the tradition. The Pharisees
had six hundred and thirteen com
mandments divided, sub-divided and
classified. They attached more impor
tance to the traditional law than to
the written law. Jesus now makes
four charges against the Pharisees
1. Teaching as their doctrine the
precepts of men. 2. Leaving the
commandments of God mid holding
to the traditions of men. 3. Reject
ing tho commandments of God nmi
keeping the traditions of men. -1.
Making void the word of God bj
tradition.
We kre to clearly understand that
the Pharisees and Heroditans were
not seeking knowledge, but were en
deavoring to embarrass and cause
trouble for Jesus.
Citizens of Two Worlds
In Philippians 3:20 we read, "foi
our conversation is in heaven, from
whence also we look for the Saviour.
The Lord Jesus Christ”. Here Paul
says to the Philippians and to othei
people; as well, “you are citizens of
two worlds. If one really renders
"unto God the things that are -Gods”
he will fulfill his duty, to man. This
in< turn implies good' citizenship.
Christianity shoulders many respon
sibilities. Many of life's burdens arc
Born by Christianity. When one be
comes a Christian, many of life’s bur
dens are made easier. Christianity
assumes the responsibilities of many
of life’s weary burdens. Christianity
makes a joy of many things that be
fore were burdens. This is the Lord’s
olan of relieving us of many of life's
burdens.
Ten Citizenship Commandments
For Christians
Our Advanced Quarterly gives us
tlie following Ten Commandments
of Good Citizenship. If we will study
them carefully we will find that
they embody all the requirements oi
a Christian:
1. Thou shalt recognize thy obli
gation to God and country. You are
a citizen of two worlds.
2. Thou shalt render unto God
the things that are God’s. "Upon
the first day of the weelc let everyone
of you lay by in store as God hath
prospered him."
3. Thou shalt pay taxes to thy
government for governmental pro
tection.”
4. Thou shalt inform- thyself con
cerning governmental affairs.
5. Thou shalt advocate and sup
port the highest and best as a citi
zen.
6. Thou shalt oppose anything
andl everything that makes for tho
hurt of the people.
7. Thou shalt put principle abovo
political partiess.
8. Thou shalt put God and spirit
ual good above greed for gold.
9. Thou shalt put the good of all
the people above individual selfish
interests.
10. Thou shalt acknowledge thy
citizenship by voting.
When thees commandments are
carried out to the tittle we are ful
filling the requirements of being a
Christian.
After all is said and done the most
mportant thing in all this world for
every individual is to be a Christian
and a goodi citizen.
Lets look wel to our duties then I
as citizens and: Christians and then
we will be sure heirs to eternal life.
