Billy Graham and the Man Who Missed Christmas

Posted by Kevin D. Hendricks on December 24, 2008

It sounds like a detective thriller, but it’s really just the story of the innkeeper who was too busy to notice a woman about to give birth and missed the very first Christmas. Billy Graham tells this story in the 1979 Christmas Special.

He finishes by asking if we’ll be like the innkeeper:

“We in America have so much, but we are preoccupied with our own comforts and our own desires. And I have to ask you, are you going to make this same mistake and just give Jesus the stable compartment of your life? I’m asking you to let him be born this Christmas in the central places of your heart and life.”
