He reflects on the tragic irony of Christ, the Creator, being born in a manger due to a lack of room in the inn, paralleling how many today still exclude Him from their lives. Smith urges listeners to consider what is more important than Christ, especially during the Christmas season when He is often overshadowed by commercialism. The sermon calls for introspection on whether we have made room for Christ in our hearts amidst life's distractions.
Luke 2:7
By Chuck Smith0Chuck Smith reflects on the profound significance of Jesus' birth, emphasizing that the sovereign God of the universe, who created all things, came to earth in humility as a baby. He highlights the mission of Christ as a peace emissary, bringing life and reconciliation to humanity, yet tragically, there was 'no room in the inn' for Him. This serves as a poignant reminder that even today, many hearts are crowded with worldly distractions, leaving no space for Christ. Smith challenges listeners to consider their own hearts and whether they have made room for the Savior who stands at the door and knocks.
