What they did in guiltless ignorance, men too often do in willful rejection. In our lesson we are using the words room or vacancy in the sense of possibility of admission. It is a very discouraging sight for a weary traveler to behold a no vacancy sign on possible places of lodging. Even more disheartening is to see evidence of persons wearing the no vacancy sign for Christ in their lives.

The pathetic thing is that many have not made room for Christ in their lives.
