Now I Can Come To Him

 

In this Advent season, reflect on these words about the incarnation of Jesus:

If Christ had arrived with trumpets and lain in a cradle of gold, his birth would have been a splendid affair. But it would not be a comfort to me. He was rather to lie in the lap of a poor maiden and be thought of little significance in the eyes of the world.

Now I can come to him.

Now he reveals himself to the miserable in order not to give any impression that he arrives with great power, splendor, wisdom, and aristocratic manners.

Martin Luther (1483-1546)
