Stamped: Image, Kingdom, Allegiance

May 17, 2026    Brian Hasse

When Jesus was given the opportunity to publicly condemn one of the most corrupt governments in human history, He didn't go there. In fact, He almost seems dismissive.


Holding a Roman tribute coin, He says: “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s—and to God what belongs to God.


Because Jesus recognized the greater danger is not merely living under a corrupt government—but giving that government an allegiance that belongs to King Jesus alone.


You can hold that coin—as long as that coin is not holding you.
