Well, it’s December, and possibly your thoughts may
have already started to turn to Christmas. For Jill and I,
we look forward to our first Christmas here on the
Island and having family join us.
The Bible reminds us what Christmas is for when it
says, “There is born to you this day in the city of David
a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord”.
For many people, I am reminded of the part of the story
that tells us of Mary and Joseph arriving in Bethlehem
and being greeted with the message that there is “No
Room” at the inn. I can imagine Joseph pleading with
the manager of the inn, telling him of Mary's condition
and their desperate need for a place where she could
give birth to her child. But "there was no room for them
in the inn." So when Jesus was born, His mother
"wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and laid Him in a
manger" (Lk. 2:7).
Today, 2,000 years later, millions of people have no
room for Jesus. Although they participate
enthusiastically in the festivities of the Christmas
season, they keep Him out of their lives. The NO
VACANCY sign is there.
How about you? Is there room in your life for Christ?
What better time than during this season to rededicate
your life to Him or to receive Him as your Saviour!
Celebrate the baby, but trust the Saviour. That's how to
make Christmas complete.
Jill & I wish you all a Happy Christmas
And God bless you all,
Rob
