No Room
Donald Cantrell
Luke 2:1 - 7
Christmas sermon to ponder after the busyness of the season dies down.

III - The Emphatical Implications of this Story (7)
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with sub-points.
Theme: ''We have hijacked Christmas and pushed Christ out...''
Is There Room for Jesus this Christmas?
It may be difficult to believe, but rather than drawing us closer to God, sometimes Christmas actually draws us away!
For many, this Christmas season will be filled with rushing, hurrying, and milling around department stores, feet aching, head throbbing, nerves frazzled. No wonder the little girl who was praying ''forgive us our trespasses'' got confused and said, ''forgive us our Christmases.'' Sometimes we need to be forgiven for our Christmases. We simply leave no room for Jesus.

That First Christmas
There was no room for Him in the inn that first Christmas. In fact, the only place Jerusalem had for Him was a cross. Even in His death there was no room for Him, for He was buried in a borrowed tomb.
One reason there was no room for the Lord Jesus was ignorance. The innkeeper didn't know the baby about to be born was the Son of God. Mary and Joseph certainly knew. The shepherds, the wise men, Anna and Simeon in the temple, and Elizabeth knew; but the innkeeper did not.
Another reason there was no room for Jesus was indifference. Can you imagine the innkeeper as he shuttles a young woman about to give birth off into a cow stall? He simply had no concern.
Or perhaps the innkeeper was too involved. He was so busy, he just didn't have time. His rooms were filling with guests and his purse was filling with gold. Like many of us, he was too busy with others things. He had no room for the Lord Jesus.
