Heaven's Homeless

In Luke chapter 2 we find Christ on his way to earth. He was transported by contractions and announced his coming through labor pains. This royal king, now fully man burst into society through the womb of a young, unmarried virgin girl named Mary. We find Mary and Joseph conquering their conquest from Nazareth to Bethlehem to pay taxes commanded of Caesar.
After searching for a place to deliver their first born son, they were rejected by full housed inns landing them in a nearby stable.
Desperation must have been tangible for these frantic first time parents. Can you imagine knowing your body has housed the Messiah and his debut would be made in a stable, that met the expectations of pigs and other lowly beasts of the Earth? I can't imagine the distress Mary and Joseph must have experienced holding Jesus, now homeless. The conquest of this family was detoured after the three wise men messaged a warning of Pharaoh's decree. This warning took them through Egypt prolonging their journey back to Nazareth. To think of Christ as homeless may seem somewhat radical but it is a conquest that is never ending.
It is evident throughout scripture and even through the Christ prayed desire in John 17:26 that Christ desires to inhabit in us. After a conscious acceptance of salvation Christ becomes a resident within our hearts. We, if we aren't cautious, become an overbearing landlord to his residence. We often tell him when to come and when to go, when he can come out and what time and in what situations he has a curfew. In other words we want eternal life without a roommate housing our hearts.
There are so many of us who have prolonged Christ's homelessness just as the innkeeper did in Luke 2. When we recieve the gentle knock on the door of our hearts we reply, "No room in the inn." There are others who house the title of his son or daughter but have never truly offered him a place to say. Then we are bewildered when we bear nothing but sin natured character. We must realize this thing called Christianity is more than a title. Before we bear fruit and reflect Christ we must house him. (John 15:15)
