GOSPEL NUGGET #211

No Room For Christ


Lu 2:7 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 HIM IN THE INN.


Zero in on that expression: "NO ROOM FOR HIM". 

It was a very busy day in a little town called Bethlehem, Judea. Many Jews came to Judea to be registered. The King of the universe was born, and they had no room for Him. The world was preoccupied with many things that they missed the King Himself. 

They had no room for Him. The only place where there was room for Him was on a cross

These four words describe many people this season who profess to celebrate the Incarnation Day in memory of the birth of the Lord Jesus---they have no room for Him in their hearts! Their hearts to Him are as dry as the Sahara desert. 

They are busy with Christmas decors, gifts, party, greetings but Christ is not in their hearts. The memory that Christ was born 2000 years ago to be the Savior of sinners is a bore, a chore, and a lore tucked in the head but not tied to the heart.

Have you no room for the Savior in your heart? Are you simply a nominal and professing Christian and nothing more? You can receive Christ now by trusting in Him for salvation.
