Section Two Eight pages "The Voice of the Beef Empire"-North-Central Nebraska's BIGGEST Newspaper __ Volume 80-Number 35 O'Ne ill, Holt County, Nebraska, Thursday, December 22, 1 960 Seven Cents No Room in the Inn; Born in A lowly Stable Ily Will Kpindler, U. S. Indian Service, Retired It was while listening on chantedly to the haunting, poign ant strains of a beautiful Christ mas song at the Gordon Gospel Chapel, Gordon, Nebraska, of which Melvin Grosenhach is the pastor, at the regular Sunday ser vice on the morning of Decem ber 20, 1959, that several gr at truths struck me with startling and vivid reality. The song was that delightful, soul-haunting ‘‘Star of the East” and the very talented singers were Yvonne Hamilton and Darlene Forster, accompanied on the piano by Mrs. William Kayton and Ralph Tay lor on his violin. My mind drifted hack to lhat first Christmas Eve scene of over 1900 years ago in Bethlehem’s lowly stable. Our Savious, Jesus Christ whose sacred star that song so graphically proclaimed was horn in a manager of that stable amind the humble live stock because “there was no room in the inn.” Had the innkeeper known that the infant Jesus to be born that night under such lowly circum stances was to he the Saviour of the world and the “King of Kings,” likely the story would have been much different. He likely would have been given the best room in the inn. But only a chosen few knew this great truth. Nearly 2,000 years have now elapsed since that lowly scene of the Nativity. It is no longer that Bibical innkeeper who can make room in the inn for Jesus It is now we——you and I -w ho must make room in the inn—our hearts—if we are to share with Him in His coming Kingdom and the joys of eternal life. Have you ever considered this startling truth? It is now we who must make room in the inn. Will wo receive Him into our hearts with loving faith and trust? Will we receive Him with open arms, putting aside all malice, hatred, selfishness, and many other evil traits common to wTeak humani ty? Or will we, like those religious leaders of old, continue to crucify Him and cast Him out of our hearts? The way is not always easy. Above all we must faith, love, and charity. “1 am the way, the truth, and the life,” our Master once said; also, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy-la den and I will give you rest.” To make room for Him in our inn, we must take up our cross, cast away our old sinful life, and place our trust, faith, and hope in Him who gave His life for us on Cal vary over 1900 years ago. The time is short- perhaps even much shorter than we think. If we are to make room for Him in the inn, we must be up and doing, for “the night cometh when no man can work.” Like those shepards of old and the Wise Men, we must follow that "Star of the East . . . .” Then there is that age-old question asked by Pontius Pil ate; “What shall I then do with Jesus?” It is no longer Pontius Pilate who is concerned with this vital question. It is now you and I who must supply the answer. What will WE do with Jesus? The choice is ours. And the time is growing shorter, ever shorter, as the evening shadows of our waning, sinful age grow ever longer. Will we make room for Him in the inn? And, equally important, will we settle the question of “What shall I do with Jesus.” by really and truly ac cepting Him in our hearts as our personal Saviour without re servation?
