A book for serious disciples of Jesus
No man can serve two masters, yet both Christ and Caesar demand our allegiance. The prince of this world, and the political institutions he supports and controls, entice us to rely on the arm of flesh as a means of solving our problems. But God seems to want something different to us and His commandments carry political implications that we ignore at our own spiritual peril. Christians seem to find themselves torn between Christ and His counterfeit, looking for ways to compromise and satisfy both. Jesus tells us to love one another, yet His disciples routinely intermingle with Caesar's mortal institutions, seduced by their promises of power and wealth that inherently violate God's foundational commandment. Because we cannot serve two masters, any loyalty to Caesar entails a rejection of Christ. Those who would be disciples of Jesus must therefore, once and for all, choose whose side we are on.
