Everyone had a home--but Him!

(James Smith, "Daily Bible Readings for the Lord's Household")

Everyone had a home--but Him!













"Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests--but the Son of man has no place to lay His head!" Matthew 8:20






What an astonishing fact!






Here is the Creator of all things--without a home!






Here is the Ruler of the universe--without a habitation!

Here is the eternal, immortal King--more destitute than the birds of the air, or the beasts of the forest!

"Then each one went to his own home--but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives." John 7:53-8:1






Everyone had a home--but Him!






What brought Him into these circumstances?






LOVE!

Love for whom?






Love for sinners, the vilest, the basest of mankind!

    

Why did He stoop so low?






He became poor--that we might become rich!






He was without a poor cottage on earth--that we might possess a splendid mansion in heaven!






He was destitute in time--that we might possess a glorious portion in eternity!

O Jesus, how astonishing is Your love!






O my soul, admire, adore, and praise--the wondrous love of your beloved Lord!
