"Tax Deduction"

Luke 2:1-5
2 In those days a decree went out from Emperor Augustus that all the world should be registered. 2 This was the first registration and was taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. 3 All went to their own towns to be registered. 4 Joseph also went from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to the city of David called Bethlehem, because he was descended from the house and family of David.


You’ve got to love how God works! God is able to work through anything and everything to allow light to shine. God was even able to work through a registration by the Roman government so that it might receive all of the taxes that it was ‘owed’. When you think of it that way, Jesus is the greatest tax deduction of all time! He came so that we might be freed; he came so that we might be able to truly live; he came so that we might be able to walk in the light of the Lord.

Do not overlook this deduction! Do not overlook Jesus in your life! You will never regret it!

God, there are times when we wonder if we really need You. We do. Even in those days when we think we’ve got everything under control, we so desperately need You. Help us to always rely on You, in every season of our lives. Amen.
