The Son of God Paid His Taxes (Study Guide)

For this final piece of Matthew 17, we're providing a robust Discipleship Guide for you to study more deeply. Use this independently or with your Discipleship Group.

We see at the end of the chapter that Jesus, when given the option to NOT pay a customary temple tax, chooses to anyway, only his method in doing so was nothing short of supernatural. What's with this interaction? What can we learn about Jesus' approach to very "earthly" customs vs. his divine authority?

Take some time to read the passage, then read through the study guide. What is God teaching you? Consider sharing with a friend or your Group if something hits you!
