Creating a Spiritual Space for Jesus

As Christians, we are called to prepare our hearts and minds for the coming of Jesus Christ. In the Bible, we are reminded to "prepare him room" (Mark 2:3-5), making way for the King of Kings to dwell within us. But what does it mean to prepare a room for Jesus, and how can we do it in our daily lives?

A Heart of Humility

To prepare a room for Jesus, we must first create a heart of humility. This means recognizing our sinfulness and our need for redemption. It means acknowledging that we are not perfect and that we need Jesus to guide us. As we humble ourselves before God, we open ourselves up to His transforming power, making room for Him to work in our lives.

A Space of Surrender

Preparing a room for Jesus also means surrendering our will to His. This means letting go of our own desires and ambitions, and instead seeking to do God's will. It means being willing to lay down our own plans and dreams, and instead following Jesus wherever He leads. As we surrender to God, we create space for Him to move in our lives, guiding us and directing us.

A Room of Worship

A room prepared for Jesus is also a room of worship. This means setting aside time to praise and adore God, to thank Him for His blessings, and to seek His guidance. It means creating a space where we can freely express our love and gratitude to God, without fear of judgment or rejection. As we worship God, we invite His presence into our lives, filling us with joy and peace.

A Lifeway of Faith

Preparing a room for Jesus is not just a one-time event, but a lifelong journey of faith. It means committing to follow Jesus, even when the road ahead is uncertain. It means trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty, even when we don't understand His ways. As we walk in faith, we create a lifeway that honors God, and prepares a room for Him to dwell within us.

By preparing a room for Jesus, we open ourselves up to His transforming power, and invite His presence into our lives. May we create a heart of humility, a space of surrender, a room of worship, and a lifeway of faith, that we may truly prepare Him room.
