No Room - Losing Focus During The Holidays
No Room!
Christmas had come – by that I mean the real meaning of this
season we celebrate had arrived. The Kingdom of God showed up at the door. What
door? The Inn-keeper’s door. We don’t know too much about this Inn-keeper in
Scripture; only that he informed Mary (the mother of Jesus) and Joseph (Mary’s
husband) that there was “No Room” at the Inn.
The most important guest (ever) to arrive at an inn
(throughout all history) arrived at Bethlehem Inn only to be told by the
manager “No Room”. Isn’t that the tragedy of our day? So many of us have said
the same thing in one way or another “No Room for you God”. And especially
during the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season, commercialism, gift giving,
tradition and religion has taken the place of the real meaning of the season.
The order of the day in regards to Christ is “Sorry, No Room For You”. I pray
this does not describe you.
