One Response Was Given By The Innkeeper When Mary And Joseph Wanted To Find A Room Where The Child Could Be Born. The Innkeeper Was Not Hostile; He Was Not Opposed To Them, But His Inn Was Crowded; His Hands Were Full; His Mind Was Preoccupied. This Is The Answer That Millions Are Giving Today. Like A Bethlehem Innkeeper, They Cannot Find Room For Christ. All The Accommodations In Their Hearts Are Already Taken Up By Other Crowding Interests. Their Response Is Not Atheism. It Is Not Defiance. It Is Preoccupation And The Feeling Of Being Able To Get On Reasonably Well Without Christianity.
