She gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger, because there was no lodging available for them. – Luke 2:7(NLT)
THE KING THAT HAD NOTHING
A poem and essay by ILMA
He was a king but born in a manger
He wasn’t at a home but with many strangers
He was wrapped in strips of cloth and have no bed
There was no proper place for him to stay and rest.
Though this king had no earthly wealth to boast
He still owns everything from coast to coast
All things in this world and in heaven came from Him
He is all powerful and mighty and will free us from sin.

The birth of Jesus was a very silent yet powerful event for all mankind. Whether some accept it or not, it still doesn’t take away the fact that God sent Jesus among us, humans. There is no other person in history that could surpass all the miracles that he did during his life. It has been thousands of years ago, and yet, they haven’t stopped digging evidences the Jesus was the Son of God.
God has a big sense of humor. When he sent a king to be born on earth with nothing, that is a big statement that man’s limited mind can’t fathom. Jesus was born without a home and wrapped in strips of cloth.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to always open my hearts door for you to come in.
REFLECTION
How have you closed your heart’s door to Jesus lately?
