Do We Have Room For Christ

"The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head."  I said to myself and I would make a plea to you: we have many rooms in our homes--a room for sleeping, a room for eating, a room for recreation.  Do we have room for Christ?  We have time in our lives--time for golf, time for fishing, time for tennis.  Do we have time for Christ?  Let's open the doorways to our hearts, let's welcome the Prince of Peace, and then we shall have His spirit to be with us."

Spirit Over Flesh, Discipline Over Tempation, Devotion Over Inclination

Christ's final triumph and ultimate assumption of godly powers on the right hand of his Father came not because he had a divine parent and not because he was given heavenly authority from the beginning, but ultimately because he was, in his own mortal probation, perfectly obedient, perfectly submissive, perfectly loyal to the principle that the spiritual in his life must rule over the physical...spirit over flesh; discipline over temptation; devotion over inclination; "the will of the Son being swallowed up in the will of the Father."
