The inn and the out

Saturday, December 24, 2022

Messiah was born in a manger because there was no room at the inn. But the deeper reason was this; the room at the inn was too small for Him. The palace at Jerusalem would have been too small for Him, and the temple itself. Solomon said after building the most magnificent temple, "This temple can't contain you God, nor can the highest heaven..." When God came into the world, there couldn't be room for Him in any place. That's why he was born outside. Nothing is big enough to contain His presence. Only the outside can begin to fathom His awesomeness. What about you? The Word says He dwells in those who receive Him. But how can He, when even the Temple couldn't contain Him. He came into the OPEN; so if you have God inside you, you must live in the OPEN with no walls of bitterness, pride, fear, or selfishness. Only with an OPEN life, OPEN heart, OPEN spirit of love, joy, mercy, will the Lord really dwell in your life. Open your heart, your mind, your horizons, your life. For the Lord comes to dwell in, THE OPEN.
