Matthew 22:15-22
The dictionary defines image in this way: a physical likeness or representation of a person, animal, or thing, photographed, painted, sculptured, or otherwise made visible; a mental representation; idea, conception; In Psychology: a mental representation of something previously perceived, in the absence of the original stimulus; form; appearance; semblance: We are all created in God’s image. Each person has an image that is conveyed to other people. The image will communicate to another person some impressions that can be positive or negative in their mind. In the gospel account for today, Jesus draws a distinction between giving to Emperor Caesar and giving to God. When paying taxes, you cant help but see the human image on the coin for payment is Caesar. When we look at God, we cant help but think of the Genesis passage (Gen. 1:26) which states that humans have been created in the image of God.
