Matthew 22:15-22 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk.… I. WHAT THOSE THINGS ARE WHICH WE SHOULD RENDER UNTO GOD. 1. Our time. Especially youth; and particularly the Sabbath. 2. Our substance. 3. Our children. 4. Our hearts. 5. Our whole selves. 6. The blessed fruits, and all the glory of His own grace, should: by the Christian, be rendered back to God. II. How THIS IS TO BE PERFORMED. That it may be an acceptable service we must do it — 1. If hitherto neglected, without delay. 2. Freely, and without reluctance. 3. Thankfully, and without murmuring. 4. Humbly, and without ostentation. 5. Wholly, and without reserve. 6. For perpetuity, and without drawback. 7. In the whole of this, we should have an eye to Christ. He is the medium of all communication from God, and conveyance to Him. (B. Beddome, M. A.)
