In Matthew 17:24–27, Jesus does something unexpected. As the Son of God, He didn’t owe the temple tax—yet He chose to pay it anyway. Not out of obligation, but out of humility and love.
This quiet but powerful moment teaches us something profound about spiritual maturity: living not from a mindset of have to, but get to. In this episode, we’ll unpack:
- Why Jesus chose humility over entitlement
- How maturity in Christ shifts us from obligation to joyful obedience
- The difference between giving under compulsion and giving out of love
- Why investing our time, treasure, and service in the kingdom is an act of honor, not duty
When we stop asking, “Do I really have to?” and start declaring, “I get to,” we reflect the heart of Christ to the world.
