We are all familiar with paying taxes. Few people would say it is a joyful experience, and most would avoid it if they were free to. In this week's passage from Matthew 17, Jesus teaches Peter that, as a son of God, Peter is free not to pay the yearly temple tax but that he should anyway. The question we might have is, what would drive a person like Peter, or even you and I, to do such a thing, to not make use of our rights as children of God and instead pay a tax that we are free from? Paul gives us a clear answer in 1 Corinthians 9, "For the sake of the gospel." Join us as we spend more time examining the words and heart of this passage.
