Whose Image? King's Cross Church

"Render unto Caesar." As if we didn't have enough reminders that it is tax season, here comes Jesus' famous quip. Some might think: taxes and politics - aren't those the kinds of things we go to church to avoid? Yet in the midst of an election year, the deeper connotations of Jesus' line bring much needed good news. The politics of the kingdom of God are exactly what equip a follower of Christ to navigate the minefield of our culturally polarized climate. When Jesus was asked whose politics he would support, he responded: “Whose Image?” (Mark 12:13-17). Let's unpack why that is such joyful news for us.
