We have a strong history of making room for things
we enjoy or are important. We do it when we value someone or
something. I’m wondering about how we will make room for Jesus this
Christmas.
Christmas isn’t even here yet and its already looking so crowded
with so many plans and so many places to be that if not careful, we
might miss the chance to make room for the real reason for
Christmas: Jesus. It’s curious to me that a world made by Jesus and
held together by Jesus is too crowded for him? How can a holiday
made to celebrate Jesus suddenly have no room for Jesus? We’ve been
told there’s no room for Jesus in our schools, in our workplaces, in
our government. Somehow, Jesus gets in the way? Is that how you
feel?
It’s easy to judge the leaders of Israel from 2000 years ago for not
making room for Jesus in their world!
But what about us? A miracle is knocking at the door and we’re
suddenly the inn keeper? “Sorry, no room.” Jesus made room for
us…will we make room for him? Join us this December as we discover
how to make room for Jesus all next year.
From all of us at Lincoln Christian Church, Merry Christmas!
