Do you have room in your life for a real man,who will love you unconditionally,and never leave or forsake you. The best gifts in life do not come in splendor or majestic form because it’s not intended to draw the wrong attention or opinion. However, would it have made a difference if Jesus was born in a palace? Would more people love,accept,and believe? Unfortunately, there are more poor people than there are rich, therefore, most poor folks would feel unqualified because of status, race or gender. But Jesus did not come to call the righteous, but sinners who tend to be the most neglected (Matthew 9:13, Mark 2:17, Luke 5:32).
We look at Mary and Joseph, a man with a wealthy background would be able to find a room anywhere, after all Mary is carrying the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Jesus was a king before He was born and because He was the Messiah, the devil tried to execute Him. If He had been born in a palace like the king He is, it would have been easy to execute Him. But even though there was no room in the Inn at Bethlehem in Judea we see clearly that Proverbs 18:16 is a true statement, “That a mans gift maketh room for Him and brings Him before great men.” And so we see that Jesus’ gifts from birth made room for Him and brought Him before great men, who were never greater than Him.
No one should ever look down on people with humble beginnings because these are the ones who are more appreciative of the gifts they have and use them wisely to God’s glory. Mary nor Jesus was not concerned about where He was born because they knew He was destined for greatness because of who is Father is.
There was no room in the Inn, but Mary made the best out of a bad situation. She may have realized that every disappointment is for a good to them that love God and are called according to His purpose or we can stick to the original version of Romans 8:28 written in the King James, which says, without doubt that we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose. Mary knew it would work out for good because she loved God and was called to bear His Son. So instead of complaining and murmuring she wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger.
So when it seems like things just aren’t working out or going the way you imagined it would, hold tight, give thanks to God, rejoice and have faith for what He’s already planned. Jesus is the only man who would never break your heart,yet many refuse His love. Are they blind,confuse or both? If you are willing to feel this kind of love,that never dies,just go to the salvation page at the top of this blog,and give it a try.
