š Introduction
Welcome to this 7-day Bible study plan focusing on the profound story of Jesus and the coin in the temple tax, found in Matthew 17:24-27.
This passage may seem simple on the surface, but it opens a window to understanding Jesusā perspective on civic duty, divine identity, and the kingdom of God. In this story, Jesus addresses the question about paying the temple tax and uses a surprising method to provide for itāa coin found in a fishās mouth. This miraculous provision challenges us to consider not only Jesusā authority but also how believers navigate earthly responsibilities while living under heavenās rule.
