A KING SIZED BED

I read recently that Rick Warren referred to the manger as a king sized bed.  I love that analogy.
Let me run with it.

What size bed do you sleep in?

Our American culture does not relate well to the concept of a king.  We have a tendency to take modern day royalty with the grain of salt.  It seems that most kings today are merely figure heads that don't have any real power.  Royalty seems to be just more fodder for the media to exploit.  After all, how many of us would feel weird bowing down in front of Queen Elizabeth.  (I guess we could refer to her as having slept in a queen sized bed. )

Worse than that how many of us feel weird bowing down to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The wise men got it.  The shepherds got it.  But I wonder if we get it.

Too many of us Christians want to sleep in a crib or single bed rather than a king sized bed, because we do not relate to Jesus being our King.  He just becomes a figure head in our lives or a person we can exploit.

So how about taking time this Christmas to literally bow down to our King.  Someday all of us will.
So why not start now?

SLEEP WELL.
