Oh little town of Jerusalem
Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save
- While You Were Sleeping by Casting Crowns

everyone looks at His death, but what about His birth?

one of the most amazing things about Jesus was the fact that despite Him being God, He chose to come to this earth in such a humble way.

i mean, He could have chosen a more normal way of coming to earth, made a room miraculously available, or come another day when there is a vacancy, or something. He is God, after all. but no, there was no room, He chose the manger.

until now, there is still little room for Jesus in this world. many doze on in their induced slumber and choose to believe what they dream about. when He knocks on their doors, there is no room for Him in our hearts, and He is relegated to the mangers, waiting to release His wonder working power in our lives.

even in His birth, it was already a pre-cursor to what will happen.

and even after His death and ressurection, there are still people who rather let the Lord live in the mangers of their lives, instead of enthroning Him as King in their hearts. some even deny Him a place in their lives.



for lack of a better conclusion because i'm still rushing a paper (i had to pen this down when i was listening to casting crowns..) sometimes i think my life is too good to be true, despite all that work stress and pressure piling up on me.
