“Lord, Help My Unbelief!” — Mark 9:14-29
Few paintings capture the Christian life as vividly as The Transfiguration by the great Renaissance artist Raphael. It is a beautiful piece of art. The upper portion of the painting depicts Christ shining in divine glory on the mountain with Moses and Elijah beside Him. Below that glorious scene, however, is something entirely different: a demon-possessed boy writhing in agony, a desperate father, confused disciples, skeptical scribes, and a restless crowd. The contrast is striking. One scene radiates light and glory. The other is filled with darkness, suffering, and chaos.

Rendering Unto Caesar
This past Sunday, we examined Jesus’ teaching on truthfulness in Matthew 5:33-37, where He calls His disciples to a righteousness that exceeds mere outward rule-keeping. The Pharisees had developed an elaborate system of oath-taking that allowed them to appear truthful while creating loopholes for dishonesty. They distinguished between oaths made directly in God’s name, which they considered binding, and oaths made by heaven, earth, Jerusalem, or other sacred objects, which they believed could be broken without consequence (see Matthew 23:16-22). Jesus exposes this entire system as an attempt to manipulate the truth while maintaining an appearance of righteousness.

Rendering to Caesar, Rendering to God
“And they sent to him some of the Pharisees and some of the Herodians, to trap him in his talk. And they came and said to him, “Teacher, we know that you are true and do not care about anyone’s opinion. For you are not swayed by appearances, but truly teach the way of God. Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not? Should we pay them, or should we not?” But, knowing their hypocrisy, he said to them, “Why put me to the test? Bring me a denarius and let me look at it.” And they brought one. And he said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said to him, “Caesar’s.” Jesus said to them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” And they marveled at him.” (Mark 12:13-17)

Battling Lust in a World of Temptation
This past Sunday, we looked at Jesus’ sobering words in Matthew 5:27-30, where He takes the seventh commandment, “You shall not commit adultery,” and applies it to the heart. Jesus reminds us that God’s concern is not merely outward behavior but inward holiness. “Everyone who looks at a woman with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” In a culture that often treats lust as normal, harmless, or even unavoidable, Jesus exposes it for what it truly is: a serious sin that corrupts the heart and dishonors both God and others.
