The Cost of Making Room for Christ the King

from Three Rivers Reflection

Is your life too "full" for the very thing it was made for?In this episode of Three Rivers Reflection, we move past the sentimental image of the "Baby Jesus" in the manger to confront the more challenging reality of "Christ the King." While it costs us nothing to admire a child in a stable, it costs us everything to make room for a Sovereign on a throne.Drawing from the narrative of the crowded inn at Bethlehem, we explore why we often find ourselves spiritually "at capacity"—cluttered with good intentions, busy schedules, and personal kingdoms. We dive deep into the "intrusive" nature of Christ's Lordship and the displacement required to truly let Him reign.In this episode, we discuss:The difference between Jesus as a "guest" and Jesus as "Lord."The "Opportunity Cost" of our modern-day "inns."Why "Thy Kingdom Come" is a prayer for our own dismantling.The paradox of the "High Cost": Why giving up everything is the only way to receive the "Shalom" of God.Join us for a moment of spiritual decluttering as we ask the hard question: Are you willing to pay the price to make room for the King?

Barnum.Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in t Rich Dad's Guide to Investing II Robert T. Kiyosaki II Full Audiobook II Robert T.
