Luke 2:6-7
6 While they were there, the time came for the
baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
Reflection
Isn’t it interesting as we read this story that there is no
innkeeper. It is amazing that so many of our stories and songs detail the story of a person who is no where to be found in the scriptures. In some ways this could be our attempt to find a scapegoat. If it were not for that evil
Innkeeper Jesus would have been welcomed to our world in the way that he deserved. If I had been there we would have done things differently. The trouble is that hindsight is 20/20 we would have not known more than the made up
Innkeeper. The question is rather are we still shutting Christ out? Are there parts of your life that you tell Christ there is no vacancy?
