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?
