Politics and Christmas Past
It
is difficult to escape the political undertow in today’s world.
Politics is in play in everything we do, from our daily routines to
events half way around the world. Our schools, our streets and
roads…regulations imposed on everything from our businesses to the water
we drink…wars, conflicts, diplomatic relations with nations both friend
and foe…we can’t get up in the morning, proceed with our daily business
or go to bed at night without political interference.
This time of the year, we do our best to
ignore, to whatever extent possible, the world of politics in favor of
time-honored traditions that revolve around Christmas or Chanukah, but
we should not forget the role of politics IN Christmas…the first
Christmas to be precise.
Just as the death of Jesus on the cross was politically motivated, so too was his birth.
While the scriptures reveal that Joseph
and Mary traveled to Bethlehem to pay their taxes, the truth goes
politically deeper than that.
