Thanksgiving is over, and most of us are preparing for Christmas, but in the wrong way because we have the wrong conception of what Christmas is all about.
What does Christmas mean to you? To some folk it means hard work. The stores are crowded with shoppers. The post office is overflowing with mail, and the trains, buses and planes are carrying record crowds. To some, Christmas means that Santa is coming–with his sleigh full of goodies.
Then to some, Christmas means a visit home. Surely this is the best time of all the year to be with family and friends. To some people Christmas is a time of sorrow, loneliness and sad memories. They look back over the year and think of the loved ones who have left them since last Christmas. Then to some, Christmas means its party time.
Then there are millions of people for which Christmas means nothing. They do not know Jesus. They could care less about the Christmas season and December 25th. For them it’s just another day!
Now, if Christmas is to be right we must first make room for Jesus! When Mary and Joseph came to the inn, the innkeeper said, “We have no room for you.” My father’s children, this man missed Christmas and all of its meaning. He had many guests in his hotel, but they were soon gone and forgotten. If he had allowed Jesus to be born there, this would have changed his hotel and his whole life
