Sanctuary
“There was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2:7)
It’s a phrase we hear each year in the Christmas story. Mary and Joseph, tired from their long journey to Bethlehem, find no suitable place to stay there.
While it’s cute to picture the Holy Family among animals, these words should haunt us today. Their search for shelter calls us to recognize those in our own world who are seeking safety, welcome, and a place to belong. As we prepare for Christ’s coming, let’s consider how we might offer sanctuary in our lives, our churches, and our communities for Jesus, for those close to us, and for the stranger.
