Have You Any Room? (Wonderhunt Short Films)

2m 20s
On the night Jesus was born there was no room for him anywhere in the town of Bethlehem apart from a lowly stable. But Bethlehem was far from the only place that hadn’t enough space for him. The doors of the world’s most revered institutions were often either closed or outright hostile toward Jesus and his message because he turned conventional thinking on its head and challenged the very foundations of power. What was true then is also true now—the palaces, politics, and other venerated places of our world have little space for Jesus. But the real question we must consider is: Do we have room for him? That’s the query C.H. Spurgeon put to his London congregation in December 1862, and his words feel as relevant now as they did then. Have You Any Room uses Spurgeon’s powerful words to reveal a world that has little room for Jesus, but it also asks each one of us to consider whether or not we are humble enough to give him room in our hearts.
