Day
18 - The Census
Reading:
Luke 2:1-2
A
sign of Roman power, a way of stamping their authority - and to make
sure they knew what taxes could be charged. The Census was not to
benefit God's people, it was a sign of their subjugation. And yet it
made sure of one thing: Joseph and Mary would have to travel to
Bethlehem. The Messiah, the one who would finally take the throne of
David, would share the birthplace of the great King; God's purpose
would be served, even by those who knew nothing of it.
Prayer
Point: That those who do God's will unknowingly will come to know
Him.
