But Jesus was saying something more. What has God stamped with his image? Human beings! Therefore, we should offer our lives back to God. Humans are the handiwork of God. We owe our very existence to him. The fact that we bear his image shows his ownership over us. Caesar was not God, so let him have his measly coins back. But humans owe our very lives to God. He’s stamped his seal on us to show that it is he alone that we must serve.2
