For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

Luke 2: 11, 12
King James Version



I watched a wonderful, tender and heart moving family program on television. It was about a young couple who were very much in love with one another. They were so excited because the doctor had told them that they were going to have a baby. The expectant parents immediately started remodeling a room in the house to be used as the nursery for their baby.

As I watched the parents lovingly decorate the nursery, I thought about Jesus. Mary and Joseph couldn't decorate a nursery for Him because He was born in a manger. Think about it, no one had room for the Saviour of the world when He was born. The sad thing is that even today some people don't have room for Him in their hearts. I think Mary cried because her Son was born in a manger.

Have you made room for Jesus in your heart? I pray with all of my heart that you have opened the door to your heart and invited Jesus in to be your personal Saviour. If you haven't, please don't wait another hour. Open the door to your heart and invite Jesus into your heart to be your personal Saviour. He loves you so much, so much that He died for you on a cruel cross of horror and agony. Please don't let His suffering be in vain. Say "yes" to Jesus today!
