The widow of Zarephath had one at the ready for Elijah’s visits (1 Kg 17:9). A couple in Shunem made one for Elisha whenever he came passing through (2 Kg 4:9-11). And Martha offered hers to the traveling Jesus (Lk 10:38). What is it? Room. Earth had none for its Creator, however. And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn (Lk 2:7 NASB). No room was prepared for His arrival. B
