The Innkeeper

From Crossway's website, a description of John Piper's poem, The Innkeeper:

Only two weeks from his crucifixion, Jesus has stopped in Bethlehem. He has 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 is to pay a debt. What did it cost 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.

Here's Piper reading the poem:



I'm more than a week late in posting this, but Desiring God also has a good Advent resource that Trisha and I have been going through.  It's a free ebook/PDF, called Good News of Great Joy, and it's a collection of devotional readings for each day of Advent.  I'd encourage you to check it out.
