I just spent 90 minutes reading a book about Caesar, in preparation for an upcoming sermon. I can't imagine spending my life scheming and fighting to stay alive and rule the world. Crazy. My sermon isn't until December 6 but we have a baby coming between now and then. So my question is, would you like or dislike what I just did. Personally, I liked it. I like to read - especially when it relates to Scripture. And this reading does. Luke wrote, "In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree..." Learning about Caesars sheds a ton of light on the Christmas story. Can't wait.
