The Flight to Egypt - The Tragedy of the Inn in Bethlehem.
The Mother of Jesus of Nazareth knocked at its doors and could not come in. It might have sheltered the greatest event in human history, and it lost its chance!
Why? Why was Jesus born in a stable?
Because the people in the inn were vicious or hostile? Not in the least.
The inn was full, that was all; every room was taken by folk who had affairs to attend to and money to spend. It was busy. There was "no room in the inn".
Men's lives are sometimes like that inn. You know a man whose heart is broken because his son is a fool. Yet deep within himself he knows that the fault is his own. He was busy. There was no room for family life. In the process of being successful he has sacrificed success.
The greatest event in the history knocked at the doors of the inn - and could not come in (B.B).
