Episode # 11

Does it sometimes seem unfair there was no room in the inn and Jesus was born is a stable?

In this episode I talk about the familiar story of Jesus’s birth and just a few ideas to think about this Christmas season:

  • What is the significance of Jesus being born in a stable?
  • Why did Mary put Jesus in a manger, aka feeding trough?
  • The importance of flexibility and being spontaneous at Christmas
  • What’s actually going on when the Caesar Augustus in your life makes a decree

I wish you a very wonderful Christmas season full of Christ’s appearing in unexpected places.

Please share this with a friend. And I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below.

God bless,
James

Micah 5:2
But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

Luke 2:1-7
And it came to pass in those days that a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be registered.
This census first took place while Quirinius was governing Syria.
So all went to be registered, everyone to his own city.
Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David,
to be registered with Mary, his betrothed wife, who was with child.
So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered.
And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

John 6:35
And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
