There is Always Room – Rev. Dr. Kevin Payne
Episode 97: There is Always Room – Rev. Dr. Kevin Payne
We have to understand that scripture was not originally written in modern English. As such, there are times when words from ancient Greek are mistranslated. This is the issue in this passage. The word that has been translated as “inn” is actually the Gk. word “kataluma” which is a guest room, not a hotel. The beauty of the message of this passage has nothing to do with an innkeeper (in fact, there isn’t even a innkeeper mentioned!) Rather, it is a promise that even if the best we have to offer is a stable in the back yard, then God will take it and do something amazing with it in grace.
Sermon Scripture Text: Luke 2:1-7
