"THAT ALL THE WORLD BE REGISTERED..."


Luke 2:1---" that all the world should be registered..."


John 3:16--" For GOD so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."


LUKE 2:1  "And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered."
(The purpose of this census was taxation.)

This decree caused Joseph and Mary to travel to Bethlehem --- thus fulfilling GOD'S plan for Jesus to be born in Bethlehem!!! Luke 2:4)


The purpose of GOD'S plan was not for taxation --- but for  SALVATION!!!  for you and for me.


Caesar Augustus' plan was for the world at THAT  time.


GOD'S plan is for everyone in the world at  ALL  times.!!! (John 3:16)


I am not sure what kind of "ink"  was used  to "register" people for Caesar...

But I would venture to GUESS that our names as written in the "Lamb's Book of Life" (Revelation 21:27) are "written in red" - by the Blood of the Lamb" (Mark 14:24).

WE WORSHIP YOU HOLY LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!
