ministry implications: “All who cross over, those twenty years old or more, are to give an offering to the Lord.” All the disciples were there. Only Peter and Jesus paid. The temple tax is only for those twenty years old or older. If I’m reading this right, then Jesus was a youth leader with one adult sponsor (and one really rotten kid named Judas). He had a small youth ministry budget and no youth room. But with that small youth group, he changed the world. The question is, how? The answer is clear.
