Listen in as we explore the resonant message of Jesus when He instructed us to "give to Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's." This sermon takes you on a reflective journey, examining the innate worth of humanity, crafted in the divine image as narrated in Genesis. We discuss how sin often obscures our ability to recognize God's likeness within ourselves and others. Imagine a coin collector, tirelessly working to restore a coin's original luster, marred by years of grime—this is the metaphor we use to describe Christ's redemptive work in our lives. His sacrifice is not only a path to salvation but also a revelation of our intrinsic value that has always existed in God's eyes.
Join us as we contemplate what it means to live as true bearers of God's image, drawing from the rich tapestry of characteristics outlined in 1 Corinthians. We converse about the transformative impact of patience, kindness, and humility in our daily interactions and how these attributes can help polish the divine image within us and those around us. As we seek forgiveness and restoration, we not only understand our worth in God's sight but also assist others in recognizing their own sacred value. Through this episode, we invite you to consider how our lives can be offerings to God, inspiring others by our example to embrace their identity as cherished children of the divine, proudly reflecting His image.
