No Room For Jesus
Luke Chapter 2 you can't hurt this red just a little while ago. But once again we look at Just a few moments. And it all went to be taxed every 1/2 in his own country CD and Joseph also went up From Galilee out of the city of Nazareth to call Bethlehem because you was out of the house and lineage of David to be taxed with Mary his espoused why I've been great with child should be delivered and she brought forth her firstborn son wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a Manger because there was no room for them in the end. And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field keeping watch over their flock by night and lo the angel of the Lord Came Upon them and the glory of the Lord Shone round about them and they were so afraid and they fear not for behold. I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be in all people for unto you is Born This Day in the city of David a savior, which is Christ the lord. And this shall be assigned to you. You shall find the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes lying in a manger and suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the Heavenly Host praising God and saying glory to God in the highest and on Earth peace Goodwill toward men there Canada passes Angels or going away from them to heaven. The shepherd said one to another let us see this thing which is come to pass on to us and they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph and the baby lying in the manager when they made known abroad the same which was concerning this child. I just pray Heavenly Father you granted us to be in your house. Thank you Lord for each one this brexit. For all who know? You said you're in or perhaps some that might not we'll just pray the Lord that you would be honored and glorified and the service today already. The praise has been song Through the actions were young people in betraying that true story of Christmas we come now to speak about Jesus and who he is and what he's doing us and that you will be done in our lives today honor and glorify you for asking in the precious name of Jesus our lord and savior. Amen. The journey from Nazareth down to Bethlehem would have been very difficult for Mary remember now she's at the time for expecting the birth of denethor coming along the way.
We don't know that to be so or she riding a donkey not likely not likely Joseph Carpenter. He had no need to have a donkey and so it's not like they that she was walking that's a distance of 7280 miles down to Bethlehem for that would arrive to register about their taxes by the time of light.
They could also purchased some items that they need to do all they were there. But Mary was already having birth pains by this in this place until we find a midwife. Got that but she didn't stay there. It just say but a place that would be a covering from out of the elements and their sweet she went but I may be rich and praise the lord. We are rich today with Christ. Can you imagine that. But Mary would be the one who would be telling him of the events of that night? Very Vivid in her mind. He took your mother's remember when the child is it doesn't matter who did the first one I bought her have any event at this time to be the theme of the world today? We think about it no room. 4 pieces and faithless lies sad, isn't it last Sunday at our sister Church Grace Baptist Church in Auburn. They had missionary from China that was are the vegetables that have been here. It's been several years ago. They came in at war with us. They've been working in China for a number of years. But they have the system where that you feared home that you can listen to the message that Proclaim, but they cut that off. Because you can't be a missionary Richard as a missionary in China.
He is a teacher of English in college and that's how they are there. They cannot establish a church. They cannot baptize Converse. Westlake could be put into pressure. And so they invite the young people from college come into their home and there they tell him about Jesus. And eventually are those who come to know Jesus as a personal savior what we think about those things. We think that hold. That's difficult. Is it. But all the freedoms that God has enabled Us Praise the Lord for a military for our government for our leaders. That we have to bring the chairs in the freedoms to do many things work or you off go to church where you wish and food do so many of those things. We are blessed people, but perhaps we often failed. In with our freedom the reach out to those who don't know Christ as their savior. What an opportunity to tell others about the love of Jesus and that's what the service is about Ethan. The words of the Lord are from the Lord never come back void. God will always use his word and doesn't come back for what so what a blessing that is, but let's think number two no room for the poor in the humble. We're talking about Jesus or in the Corinthians chapter 8 verse 9. It tells us that he became rich and we are we Rich today, but they're trying to say that's for us to the world the Bible tells us. Yet his people rejected him. He borrowed a Manger in which to be born. He borrowed a ship and which the cross the sea he born a donkey. We should ride into the city of Drew from.
Agreed in which to be so poor that he bought remember the story from the fish's mouth.
Yet that I bought with his little lunch Jesus party tit the feed 5000 Oh What A Savior he is. He never went to school that we have the previous today. I'm going to school yet. He has had more students than anyone else in the world. Praise the Lord.
But more books have been written about Jesus Christ Our Lord and Savior than any other in the world today, but a blessing Venus mansions for us in heaven Oh What A Savior by for him, but he gave her over to a young disciple so he could be crucified on the cross of Calvary. Oh, yes, we can say with all this wisdom. We find the Bible said that that's what others say about them talking about Peter James and John there. Would you see all these men to carry this message and when they did
later that After Peter, John has healed the man who was crippled. Oh, my friend that he is Jesus cried out our few. I hope that's not the way with us.
But sometimes the fields are empty what number three of us think for a moment no room. for his principles
World using drugs today the Condor lies or whatever is it is to send something else. understanding 64,000 people Don overdosed this year in our country. Isn't it see your neighbor's picture on the front page of the paper?

It's always pretty. And doing that work so we can putting up paneling on walls or this week. That's okay. But anyway the point that I want to make here. Is about remembering God's blessings. 30 years ago that building was put up. Some of you will understand and know what I talk about when I say that I was Pastor in Grace Church at that time in Auburn and we there was a bad feeling that was going to need to be off.
Lumber Lumber that they used to put on top of buildings and we took that down and put the hungry.

But anyway, I know that but we invest in will be an order for tomorrow and Vincent heaven or we can meet in heaven torrent. Tomorrow is too late to decide later. I'll do that tomorrow always too late the novel The Devil. We just say nothing about the day be okay another day. That would be the answer. He would give us today at 4. That we should be like Jesus. Invest not always just in the world, but invest in Eternal lives and thinks what will last for Christ? in this world praise the Lord the good things that you do and helping others. Nothing important God's looking on and he's watching and it was everything that's done today is that time indecision is not an option. That's only option. Do you see Time doesn't wait on us. So what look.
Later, we don't know about lighter time does it would make room for Jesus to dominate our lives today? I'll be the first place in our eyes for children for our grandchildren for HLN for our neighbors or actress the Lord's church for our missionaries, praise the Lord give you a report earlier about what just one more missionaries and that's a part of you.
