"In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world." (Luke 2:1)

I'm reading through the New Testament in a year, and last week I read about the decree which threw a large part of the ancient world into commotion.  A few days later, what did I find in my mailbox but a letter from the Census Bureau.  Even more amazing is that, like the Roman world then, we have all been asked to return to our own "home town" because of the spread of the Coronavirus.It was in that similar setting, all of those years ago, that God made his plan for Salvation known, simply (in a stable) and gloriously (with angels filling the sky).  And now, look!  Everywhere, even small town churches are reaching out into the dark corners of the world with the Gospel message of God's saving love in Jesus Christ, on a whole host of media platforms.I'm in awe and wonder.Prayer:  Heavenly Father, we marvel at your works; help us to know how you are calling us to help you broadcast your message of love and Salvation in Jesus, to a world in desperate need of it.  Amen.
