Is there a message in the manger for us?
From “Temple” to "Church of the Nativity”: 6.34 miles
Inn (Luke 10:34 Parable of Good Samaritan)

Small commercial building
Why does God ALLOW this?

God’s sovereignty

God wanted it that way
Jesus born in a manger to show his humiliation
Philippians 2:3-8 (Called to demonstrate humility like Jesus demonstrated)
Jesus born in a manger because he is King of the poor
Jesus born in a manger to invite the humble to his kingdom
MESSAGE: God uses circumstances to accomplish His purposes
What does not make sense in your life?
God doesn’t not waste our “no room in the inn” moments
MESSAGE: Jesus’ future is our future
Hebrews 13:14 For this world is not our permanent home; we are looking forward to a home yet to come. NLT

Foreigners, temporary residents, exiles (1 Peter 2:11)
Abraham looked forward to his future home designed and built by God. (Hebrews 11:11)
MESSAGE IN THE MANGER:
God in your life circumstances
God will never waste a hurt
God will accomplish his purposes
