"And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn."
Today the world celebrates the birth of a KING! Over two thousand years ago NO ONE would give up their room or facilities for the LORD OF ALL CREATION! Everyone was TOO ___________ (fill in the blank) for a poor pregnant girl in labor from Nazareth to give up their comfort.
I wonder if I had been there if I would have been talking about Mary behind her back? Was she treated rudely because she was a pregnant youth? Would I consider them a drain on society because they needed assistance? Why do you think that a GREAT ANNOUNCEMENT proclaiming the birth of The KING was not made to inform the world of HIS presence?
The answers to these questions may not be known until Eternity. I can only PRAISE HIM that HE chose me as a servant! Ephesians 1:4 "According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:".
It is difficult to fathom someone who always has been, coming to Earth to MANIFEST Himself to a vastly unbelieving culture, and then returning to HIS home, only to return later for we who believe. I understand that is what FAITH in HIM is all about!?!?!
