Some of the followers of Christ expected Him to fulfill their expectations as a mighty military, and political Messiah who would finally overthrow the oppressive pagan roman government. But Jesus, without giving blanket approval to human government, never the less held up its legitimate authority, and the responsibility of Christians to obey and submit to the civil and governing authorities. How can believers today obey the Lord's command to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and render unto God that which is God's To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/581/29?v=20251111

How do you respond when you are treated spitefully? Years ago, a young Christian soldier prayed by his bedside every night despite jeers, taunts and insults of the other soldiers in his barracks. One night after a long exhausting hike, the other soldiers threw their muddy boots at the believer as he knelt in prayer. When they awoke in the morning they found that he had cleaned and polished their boots and lined them up next to each man's bed.

If you are meddling in someone else's affairs, they might tell you to mind your own business. But sadly, Christians often pay far too much time and attention to our own business rather than our Father's business. Once, when Jesus was a boy, Joseph and Mary searched for Him throughout Jerusalem for three days. When they finally found Him in the Temple discussing the things of God with religious teachers, He said, "Did you not know that I must be about my Father's business"?

In football, an elusive running back can make the other team's defense look foolish as he constantly slips from their grasp. The defense must pursue the runner, lay a hold of him, and tenaciously hold fast until they tackle him. In the Christian life, genuine goodness can be very elusive and difficult to maintain.
