My father's house* - Bruce Springsteen

So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.
Luke 2:4-7 (Emphasis added)

There are many rooms in my Father's house; I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you. After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me so that you may be where I am.
John 14:2-3 (Emphasis added)
My church elder was sharing this yesterday - when Jesus came to us, we told him there was no room for him. He had to be born in a manger.



But before Jesus went back, he told us that there are many rooms, for all of us.


I hope and pray that hearts will no longer have no room for him. Make room for him in your lives!
