No Room

And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7

The first Christmas there was no room for the Lord Jesus in the inn. I'm afraid that today for many there will be no room for Jesus. There seems to be no room for Him in government. Many politicians are writing laws to ban any mention of His name.

There is no room for Him in the world of education. Public schools have banned His Word and expelled Him from being mentioned except in a blasphemous way. Even in the celebration we call Christmas, there is no room for Him. We have moved from Merry Christmas to Happy Holidays. No room for Him in 2010.

We make room for sports. We make room for parties, for food, for parades, for games, for pleasures. We have room for just about everything, but Him.

In 1958, the songwriter John W. Peterson wrote,
No room only a manger of hay
No room he is a stranger today
No room here in his world turned away
No room, No room, No room

No room here in the hearts of man kind
No room No cherry welcome could find
No room surely the world is blind,
No room, No room, No room

Angels in Heaven up yonder watch
With Amazement and wonder
To see the son of the Highest treated so,
no room, no room, no,room

Here was a pregnant girl and her husband and all they wanted was a room, and yet, they were turned away and ignored. You say, "Pastor, honestly, maybe he really didn't have any room." I know there was one room he could have given. That was his own. He could have given his own room. There was room.

This Christmas, why not give Him your room?
