Matthew 17:24-27

In this passage Jesus is confronted on whether or not he pays the temple tax. Jesus responds by telling Peter to catch a fish with money in its mouth to pay for the tax. Through the experience, Jesus would display his divinity and teach a valuable lesson on humility to his disciples. Jesus’ kingdom is bigger than any kingdom here on earth, yet he still paid a tax he didn't deserve to pay to not cause any offense. He would humbly submit in a way that still highlighted his authority. As we live our lives for Jesus how can we live humbly, in a way that doesn't cause any offense, yet still honors and glorifies God and his word or authority?
