Room for Jesus

Hey guys, how's your holidays? Just wanted to share a story taken from 'Our Daily Bread'.



The words "there was no lodging available for them" remind me of a family trip many years ago. We had been travelling all day, and I was trying hard to find a motel where we could spend the night. As we drove along the highway, our hopes were dashed time and time again by the sight of NO VACANCY signs.
As a father responsible for the well-being of my family, I was frustrated and discouraged. Then I thought of Mary and Joseph. How much worst it must have been for them when they arrived in Bethlehem and found no rooms available! I can imagine Joseph pleading with the manager of the inn, telling him of Mary's condition and their desperate need for a place where she could give birth to her child. But there were 'no lodging available for them'. So when Jesus was born, His mother "wrapped Him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger" (Luke 2:7).


Today, 2000 million years later, millions of people have no room for Jesus. Although they participate enthusiastically in the festivities of the Christmas season, they keep him out of their lives. The NO VACANCY sign is there.


How about you? Is there room in your life for Christ? What better time than during this season to rededicate your life to Him or receive Him as your savior!
