Christ was Born in a Manger.
Christ was born in a manger.
When we think of a manager, we think of a wooden manger.
It may not be what you think it is.
A typical manger
A typical scene of Jesus birth.
Footnotes:
Luke 2:6 This is the Greek word kataluma.
This is not an “inn” but simply the upstairs level of a home where guests would stay.
It means there was no guest room available in Bethlehem for Mary to give birth.
Since all of Joseph’s and Mary’s family also made the journey because of the census, every home of a relative would have been full.
In that day Bethlehem was far too small of a village to have an actual inn, all the katalumai there were occupied.
It is likely that Joseph and Mary had to sleep downstairs in the main room of a relative’s house.
The downstairs of a village home in that day was like an all-purpose room that served as a workshop during the day, and at night it was used to shelter frail animals, while the rest of the flock was left outdoors.
The kataluma was not a full-fledged barn or stable, but it did contain a drinking trough or manger cut in the bedrock.
This was the likely place where the baby Jesus was placed after his birth.
What the room probably looked more like.
What the manger probably looked like.
Jesus wants to turn the places of stone in our hearts and turn that into His place where He rests.
Shame will no longer be able make your heart its home.
Activation:
Pray for Jesus to come make your heart His home.
