Grace and peace to you from our Lord Jesus Christ.
This is not a saying about money. Jesus, here, is echoing the words we find in Genesis, that man is made in God's image. The coins that are brought before Jesus have Caesar's image on them, so they belong to Caesar. What belongs to God? Those things that have God's image on them belong to God. We belong to God. We are made in God's image. God's image is imprinted on us. We are his. Jesus is telling us here that we are supposed to give ourselves to God; we are to surrender our entire lives and love to him. We give ourselves into his service, into his hands of love and grace. We bear God's image. We belong to him. Let us give ourselves to him. God bless you.
