Caesar vs. The Baby

"In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree"

"Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you…"

Caesar didn't care how his decree impacted people, the Baby would grow to care for every soul.

Caesar took without concern, the Baby would give without regret.

Caesar's decree turned to dust, the Baby's words still live.

Caesar's authority would be taken from him, the Baby's would never fade.

Caesar invested in a kingdom that has fallen, the Baby built one that is still growing.

Caesar gets a verse in Luke, the Baby got the pages of eternity past and future.

Caesar's power is represented by what he could take, the Baby's power is seen in what he gives.

Caesar was limited to the "Roman world," the Baby helped glue the universe together.

Caesar unknowingly participated in prophecy, the Baby willing fulfilled prophecy.

Caesar pointed to himself, the Baby pointed to his Father.

Caesar's name was Gaius Octavius, the Baby's was Emmanuel.

Caesar was the grandnephew of Julius Caesar, the Baby was the Son of God.

Caesar reigned in Rome 43 years, the Baby will reign forever.

Caesar was laid to rest and stayed there the Baby only visited a tomb.

Caesar will never return, the Baby….

Merry Christmas,

Pastor Dave
