FAITH CAPSULE: From today allow Jesus to take His place in your inn.

Luke 2:1-40

With knowing the reason of the coming of Jesus is the important of Christmas celebration not giving of gift to selected ones called love. The bible recorded in John 3:16-18, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.” This scriptural verse is the key but it is the most neglected.
To be-living (believe) in Him are the ones that love Him.
To be-living in Him is to work the works of God.
The book of John 6:8-9 clearly answered to what it means to work the works of God. Jesus was asked, “What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” and He responded, “…This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” Many received the story of how He was born, they embraced it and celebrate it glamorously but do not consider to work the works of God as stated by Jesus.
Do you sincerely love the gift God sent for us? To love the gift of God is to be-living in Him which God sent.
Can you imagine, “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.” (Luke 2:7)
Does the Redeemer of man deserve to be wrapped in a swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger?
Can it possibly be the sign that our Redeemer was born and wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger?
Jesus was born in a manger because there was no room for Joseph and Mary the in the inn. The inn that matters to Him is our inn not the commercial inn that was filled and not has a place for Him.
It does not matter the kind of gift that occupies your inn waiting to be delivered as a gift. If you do not have a place for Him in your inn it becomes a meaning less gift. He spoke in Revelation 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Jesus came to have a place in our inn so that we overcome and be granted a seat with Him on His throne.”
As you celebrated Jesus, let your inn be opened up for Him.

Prayer for today: Ask God for the grace to open you up for Jesus.
