There is always more going on than what you see. That is where faith comes in. Joseph and Mary were ordered by Caesar to go to Bethlehem, only because he was looking to enlarge his already inflated ego by taking a census of his already too big empire. Behind the scenes however, something bigger was going on. Someone else was pulling the strings. A grander purpose was being carried out and suddenly, next to God's grand scheme, Caesar looks so small. Its good to get in the habit whenever something you don't like happens, (like when Caesar tells you to travel 75 miles to Bethlehem when you are pregnant and all you have is a donkey to travel on), to immediately assume God has something bigger in mind. This weeks' sermon from Luke 2:1-7 is entitled "There Are Two Things Going On". What we see, what seems, contrast with what actually is, can actually be exciting.
