We all face the pressure that comes from the expectations that others place upon us in our lives. But perhaps one of the greatest negative pressures comes from the world wanting us to conform to its ideals and expectations.
There is a tug-o-war going on, and we need to overcome it like Jesus did.
Luke 20:19-26
Two realms of jurisdiction are pitted against each other—Caesar and God. How does Jesus understand his relationship to both?
In response to what Jesus says, we must ask, “What do we owe God? What belongs to God? What does God expect from us?”
Isaiah 1:11-20 (cf. Psalms 40:6-8; 50:8; 51:16; Hosea 6:6)
Jeremiah 7:21-26
Romans 12:1-2
James 1:27
