Christmas is the story of moving Jesus from stable to penthouse in our hearts
Christmas is the story of Jesus coming into the world as a vulnerable, needy child. Jesus wants to be altogether approachable, so he comes, not as an austere and aloof aristocrat, but as an innocent baby we are urged to hold in our arms.
As easy as Jesus makes it to “come to Him,” we see that there was “no room” for Him in the Inn. Jesus was relegated to the “last place” meant, not for humans, but for animals.
