Mmebusem scams man in ‘Jesus Today’

In the midst of the controversy surrounding the ‘Jesus’ character in the ‘Boys Abre’ comedy series, Justice Hymns, known as Mmebusem, has released another hilarious skit.

Titled ‘the importance of paying taxes in the country’, the less than 2-minute video clip shows some townsfolk approaching Mmebusem, who played the role of ‘Jesus’, to inquire from him whether one is obliged to pay tax or not – just as it is captured in Matthew 22.17-21.

After asking the people to show him one of the currencies, he rejected the GHC 1 note and requested for the highest denomination – GHC 50.

“Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God… Give to everyone what you owe them: If you owe taxes, pay taxes; if revenue, then revenue; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor,” he quoted Romans 13:1; 7 in response but refused to give the money back.

“Rabi, my money,” the gentleman demanded.

“Gentleman, Luke 6.30 says, ‘Give to everyone who begs from you, and from one who takes away your goods do not demand them back’,” Mmebusem replied.
