In my bio I make the statement of how smart God is.  Here’s an example.  Religious leaders were questioning Jesus and trying to trap him.  A yes to their question would mean he supported Rome which would turn the people against him.  A no would bring accusations of treason bringing civil penalties.  But he was God smart.

Later they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Jesus to catch him in his words.  They came to him and said, “Teacher, we know you are a man of integrity. You aren’t swayed by men, because you pay no attention to who they are; but you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not?   Should we pay or shouldn’t we?” 

But Jesus knew their hypocrisy. “Why are you trying to trap me?” he asked. “Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” They brought the coin, and he asked them, “Whose portrait is this? And whose inscription?”   ”Caesar’s,” they replied. 

Then Jesus said to them, “Give to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s.”

 And they were amazed at him.   Mark 12:13-17

Aren’t you glad we have a smart God?

Be the first to pray.
