The tragedy of being too busy
He missed Christ not by rebellion, but by routine. Not from hatred, but from hurry. The Son of God stood at his doorway—quietly, humbly, vulnerably—and he sent Him away because his life had no space left.
This is a deeply modern problem.
Our calendars overflow.
Our minds race.
Our hearts carry the weight of deadlines, expectations, responsibilities, and digital noise.
Even in the Christmas season—especially in the Christmas season—we fill our schedules with celebrations and forget the Christ we claim to celebrate.
The innkeeper teaches us that a crowded life easily becomes a Christ-less life.
What Christ desires to enter
Jesus does not knock on the doors of the powerful alone. He comes to ordinary homes, ordinary people, ordinary moments. He does not demand a palace; He simply seeks room.
He wants room in the places we feel overwhelmed.
Room in the places we feel pressured.
Room in the places we assume He would not fit.
He comes to the hurried, the tired, the distracted—and whispers:
“Make room for Me.”
The question is not whether Christ is near.
He is.
The question is whether we are too full to notice Him.
