One Star Hotel
December 19, 2012
All parts of creation pointed to Jesus coming as the Savior of the world. When Mary was pregnant, she went with her fiancé, Joseph, to his hometown Bethlehem, fulfilling a prophecy that the Messiah would be born there. Jesus came to earth in the poorest of conditions, being born in a stable, so that no one could claim that they are worse of than He was. And even the people that God chose to proclaim the news to first that the Messiah had come were the smelly, poor shepherds. The Savior was born, and even the creation of the stars told of this event, leading the wise men to the stable in Bethlehem where He lay. This baby boy would be the Lamb that was slain to save the whole world.

When Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem, there was no room for them to stay anywhere except for a stable with the animals. This is where Mary gave birth to the Son of God. Jesus came to earth in a humble manner so that no one can say He was more privileged than them. Many put up a “No Vacancy” sign on their heart and do not let Him in, but when they finally turn off the flashing “No” they realize that Jesus can change their heart of stone to that of flesh and it can change their life.

In the Biblical times, the people would set up stones as a tool for remembrance of God’s help for them. We are told of a story about the Israelites who wasted 20 years because they did not repent and follow the Lord. It was not until they repented, made a sacrifice, and obeyed Him that they were able to receive His help in defeating their enemies. Sacrifice is always necessary in repentance, but the longer we wait to repent the more we experience the consequences of our choices. God’s deliverance always comes when we call on Him, and it is important that we remember His help just as the Israelites did when they set up a stone and named it Ebenezer, meaning “God has helped us thus far.”
