WORD Today
10/18/20
Isa 45:1, 4-6
1Thes1:1-5
Mt 22:15-21
When asked if Jews should pay taxes to Rome. Christ said, "Give to the Caesar what belongs to Caesar & to God what belongs to God."
Everything belongs to God. He uses govts, the Church, parents, neighbors & nature to deliver His blessings. We must give back to God thru them too.
In the 1st Reading, God used the pagan king Cyrus to free the Jews from Babylonian captivity. In the 2nd Reading, God used Paul to free the pagan Thessalonians from captivity of sin.
God works wonders thru man & nature. As members of His Kingdom, we must contribute to its betterment & make it a better world.
Today is World Mission Sunday. Lets do our mission & be used by God to give the world His greatest blessing, His Word.
Happy Lord's Day!
