“I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.” Revelation 2:4
“Oh no… I’m gonna party like Rock Star!” That was the answer from someone I had invited to Christmas Eve Service. They had just confessed to being a Christian… but confessed they were ‘backslidden.’ When I invited them to come to church, the answer came without delay. Nothing I said mattered. Their smile of anticipation was wide and full!
Later, at the service, the service went badly. All the planning was flushed when a technical problem with the computer decided not to work. But regardless… I pressed on to lift up and honor The Savior. A video that worked sent the message by itself. It’s title, “Do you Have Room?” still begs the question a day AFTER Christmas. Here it is.
In Revelation Chapter 2, Jesus isn’t asking us the question of Joseph in Bethlehem… “Do you have room?” In fact, He really doesn’t ask us to try to simply ‘fit Him in.’ When we make Him our Lord and Savior, he looks at our life, and begins the process of ‘CLEARING’ the room for Himself. Each day, month and year, He beacons me to give Him my ALL. Will… and do you?
