Second Baptist Church - Houston, TX | In Matthew 22, the political and religious groups of the day band together to question Jesus of the very thing many political and religious groups question Christians of today: defining the right relationship of "church and state," if any. Oftentimes, the question is not sincere, but manipulative - intended to trap the individual instead of to clarify a complexity. Jesus' answer, however, breaks through their rigid categories and provides a better way.
