The Innkeeper

A Narrative Poem to Ponder the Sacrifice, Hope, and Redemption of Christmas Only two weeks from his crucifixion, Jesus stopped in Bethlehem. He returned to visit someone important—the innkeeper who made a place for Mary and Joseph the night he was born. But his greater purpose in coming was to pay a debt. What did it cost the innkeeper to house the Son of God? Through this imaginative poem, John Piper shares a tale of what might have been—the story of an innkeeper whose life was forever altered by the arrival of the Son of God. Ponder the sacrifice that was made that night. Celebrate Christ’s birth and the power of his resurrection. Rejoice in the life and light he brings to all. And encounter the hope his life gives you for today—and for eternity.
