A new world is presented by our Lord Jesus Christ in the gospel according to Saint Luke, chapter 20:20-26
And they watched him, and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor.
21And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:
22Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no?
23But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, why tempt ye me?
24Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's.
25And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
26And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace.
In the context of the verses presented are the immortal, mortal and deceit money.
Immortal is God invisible. Only Christ overcame death and has appeared to many to date with signs and wonders to proof that He is immortal.
Mortal is man whose existence is short. Mortal must shun deceit to see the immortal.
The 25th verse is of interest: And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's.
Clearly, what Jesus is saying here is that every mortal must work before spending every penny earned.
Onlookers either in the church or the outside world cannot spend money earned without working except in the Charity.
In the house of God are various roles such as Choirs, Cleaners, ushers, prayer warriors, counsellors’ e.t.c.
The government who is the Caesar has various skilled and unskilled works in Medical, cleaning etc.
Jesus is Lord
