“And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped
him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in anger, because there was no room for
them in the inn.” Luke 2:7
It’s good to
keep yourself in plan and prepared for the future. Our culture is not as such
that we keep ourselves into schedules. We, Asian are much flexible, and there
are both pros and cons of it. I have been learning on this as it makes the life
more comfortable and effective too. The bible is very clear and transparent
about the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ. The innkeeper did not have a place
for Jesus’ birth.
His birth was anticipated for hundreds of
years ago. Different prophets forecast the truth that the savior would be
coming. His birth would be so significant that the history would split
into AD and BC. You and I would be dated in the birth of Jesus Christ. Yet he
did not have room when he came to the earth. The innkeeper missed the opportunity.
If Jesus had been born in one of his rooms, probably he would have made it like
the Emirates palace, putting sign of the
birth of Jesus on the front gate. He would have got a lot of fortune out of
this. He missed all those possibilities just because he did not get a room for Jesus then.
Now, how does it
relate to our daily lives as we are close to the 25th December? We
are busy in our daily routine with lot of activities. Do we still have a place
for the Lord Jesus? We spend our time and energy for the things of this world
which is going to pass away. How much do we invest into the things
which are everlasting? Jesus is still wanting to born in our life. He is still
looking a room in our family. He is still looking a room in our social
relationship. He is still looking a room in our nation. May we give him a room
where he could make the mess right.
