Paying His Taxes

In an attempt to trap Jesus, the collectors of the Temple Tax asked if Jesus had paid his tax.  Kings don't tax their sons, so Jesus, Son of God, to whom the Temple was dedicated, was under no obligation to pay a tax, but so as not to scandalize and to maintain good relations with the collectors and the people, he paid it. (cf. Mt 17:22-27).
His example shows us that there are times when we are under no obligation, for a greater good, we might be asked to step outside the world of obligation and comply to a demand or request.  When in doubt, thinking of Jesus in this instance will help and fortify us to act in a similar way.  It's in these small things that we can make a bigger difference than we think.
