Scripture: Matthew 2:1-12
“Thou who art God beyond all praising,
All for love’s sake becamest man;
Stooping so low but sinners raising,
Heavenward by thine eternal plan.
Thou who art God beyond all praising,
All for love’s sake becamest man.”
Frank Houghton
“No matter how much we give lip service to the notion of free grace and dying love, we do not like it. It is just too . . . indiscriminate. It lets rotten sons and crooked tax farmers and common tarts into the kingdom, and it thumbs its nose at the really good people. And it does that, gallingly, for no more reason than the Gospel’s shabby exaltation of dumb trust over worthy works. The work of redemption is done entirely by the Redeemer and not at all by the redeemed!”
Robert Farrar Capon
“We need a Savior – even (or especially) we who think that we are good Christians.”
Frederick Dale Bruner
“One of the most unbelievable parts of the Christmas story is that a bunch of men showed up to a child’s birthday party and remembered presents!”
