The Innkeeper (A Non-Canonical Christmas, 1/3)

This Advent season, we're taking a look at famous Christmas characters who aren't actually in the Bible ("non-canonical"), but maybe should be. Centuries of Christian imagination have created the character of the Innkeeper, often depicted as grouchy or greedy or just plain mean. Who else would turn away Mary and Joseph in their state? Who would make them sleep in a stable? But perhaps we've been unfair, or uninformed. The story of the Innkeeper may strike closer to home than we'd care to imagine. (Revelation 3:20)
