POWER STRUGGLE Power struggles occur on every level of society,
from the world stage to relationships at work, to our
own homes. We struggle for position in the hierarchy of
power: Who has power over whom? How do they wield
it? What is the source of that power? What is the healthy
response?
In this Sunday’s Gospel reading the Pharisees en-
gage Jesus in a power struggle over whether Jews
should show tribute to Caesar by paying taxes. Jesus’
response puts this and every struggle for power into per-
spective. In harmony with the words of Isaiah and Paul,
Jesus teaches us that God is the ultimate source of all
power. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
