Christmas Quote of the Day:
The tedious, long, and rough trip of Joseph and Mary to pay their Taxes as Law abiding Citizens was God’s purpose and will for them to take the route of God to Bethlehem. And it was for Mary to give Birth to the King of kings.
(Luke 2:1-7 KJV) "1- And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. 2- (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 3- And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 4- And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) - 5- To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 6- And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 7- And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn." (Micah 5:2)
