For unto us a Savior is born

I was reading Will’s blog today, and discovered the following story, a story the the Wall Street Journal has published every Christmas since 1949. It’s simply fantastic. Enjoy.

“When Saul of Tarsus set out on his journey to Damascus the whole of the known world lay in bondage. There was one state, and it was Rome. There was one master for it all, and he was Tiberius Caesar. Everywhere there was civil order, for the arm of the Roman law was long. Everywhere there was stability, in government and in society, for the centurions saw that it was so.
