Ending with a New Beginning
Scripture – Luke 2:1-3: 1In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2(This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3And everyone went to his own town to register.
Reflection: What a great way to end the year! We come to the beginning of perhaps the best known Bible story – the story that will rock the world!
The decree of Augustus got everyone in the nation up and moving. Nearly every family was inconvenienced by this bureaucratic decision. Yet for us the hopes and dreams for new life are found as this story begins to unfold.
And so, as usually happens with the Lord, the old ends with a new beginning. May 2009 be a year of new life and new beginnings for us all.
