The Agape Letters
December 20, 2004 Make room for Jesus!
It is always hectic during the hustle and bustle of the holidays!
There will be many
who WILL ONLY give Jesus
room in their lives on Christmas morning.
A well needed break,
just a few short minutes
to place the baby Jesus in the manger.
Uttering a SILENT prayer of thankfullness and
WONDER how it all got done!!!
Why would a descendant of King David,
Joseph and his wife Mary,
be unable to find a SPECIAL place,
especially in the City of David, for HIS SON to be born?
Were there not some relatives
WHO would extend gracious hospitality
toward a family expecting a baby to be born?
Maybe, it was hard to give ROOM in their hearts to the King of Kings!
IF ONLY a moment to REMEMBER the PROMISE!!
Jesus came knowing this would be HIS LOT in LIFE.
A barnyard LOT!
Where ONLY the Savior of the World could be delivered!!!
God made ROOM at the foot of the cross for YOU.
HE opened HEAVEN and extended HIS GRACE to US!!!
John 14:21
Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me.
He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him.”
Jesus was BORN to return, to HEAVEN to prepare ROOM for US,
to earth again a 2nd time to deliver the HABITATION of HOLINESS!
Have you made ROOM for Jesus?
Is HE staying in the SUITE, or sleeping on the couch?
