killed forcing Mary and Joseph to
flee their homeland to protect
Jesus
Thus, government played an
important role in the familiar
story of the first Christmas. In
fact, throughout the entire life of
Jesus, the influence of govern
ment is apparent.
Having returned home after
their flight from Israel, Mary and
Joseph lived in constant fear that
their child would be discovered
and executed by the government
When Christ grew to manhood
and began his teaching, he
showed a constant awareness of
how government affected the
lives of the people he taught.
At the end of this life, it was
the government that bound Christ
over to die on the cross.
Government, as known to Jesus

BROWN'S SONS,
and the people of the age in which
he lived, was tyranny. And all of
the horror of tyranny is reflected
in events surrounding Christ’s
life - forced taxation, fear,
murder and injustice.
Yet, in the midst of tyranny,
the teachings of Jesus planted the
seed of freedom. He taught about
the worth of the individual in the
sight of God. He made men long
for the right to worship God, each
in his own way.
It was that seed that has lived
and grown for almost 2000 years
in Western civilization. Nearly
every step of the Western world’s
quest for freedom has been
related to Christ’s message for
mankind
Today, the United States stands
at the forefront of the Western
world - a symbol of free men
working through government to
make taxation equitable, fear
