When it was time for Jesus to be born, Luke 2:1-7 tells us there wasn’t any room for Mary and Joseph in Bethlehem. The only person who made room for them was an innkeeper who let them stay outside with some animals.
Sometimes we get so busy that we forget to make room for Jesus in our lives. See if you can stop everything for 10 minutes and sit quietly with Jesus. Ask him to speak to you or sing the song below to him and tell him you want to make room for him.
Luke 2:1-7
At that time the Roman emperor, Augustus, decreed that a census should be taken throughout the Roman Empire. 2 (This was the first census taken when Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 All returned to their own ancestral towns to register for this census. 4 And because Joseph was a descendant of King David, he had to go to Bethlehem in Judea, David’s ancient home. He traveled there from the village of Nazareth in Galilee. 5 He took with him Mary, his fiancée, who was now obviously pregnant.
6 And while they were there, the time came for her baby to be born. 7 She gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them.
