At work with God – Day 11
Pay your taxes.
Se(di)ngolwa (t)sa Bibele
LUKA 20
Taba ya ho lefa lekgetho
BAROMA 13
The Bible is very clear on the matter of paying tax. Because the Jews were under Roman rule, the question of tax in New Testament times was a very sensitive political issue. However, even in this instance the right of the government to levy tax is acknowledged by Christ while reminding us at the same time that we also have an obligation towards God.
