Title: Jesus' Visit
Review: .What happened to the keeper of the inn that had no room for Joseph and Mary? Did God condemn him for turning them away. Did God bless him for allowing them to stay in his stable?John Piper's poem, The Innkeeper, is one man's image of the rest of the story. Many questions surface when we think of the possibilities. First, did anyone, other than the shepards and the three wise men, even know of Jesus birth? Scripture is silent on that point. If they knew, how did the people of Bethlehem or the Roman soldiers react to Jesus' birth?The Innkeeper gives us one view of the story. This an excellent poem and a creative approach to the rest of the Christmas story. I recommend this book for anyone who enjoys a Christmas tale and anyone who would like meditating on the life of Jesus.
