Inspiration from the Incarnation

“The Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby, needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child. The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets. Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the Incarnation.” —J. I. Packer

“Man’s maker was made man,
that He, Ruler of the stars,
might nurse at His mother’s breast;
that the Bread might hunger,
the Fountain thirst,
the Light sleep,
the Way be tired on its journey;
that Truth might be accused by false witnesses,
that the Judge of the living and the dead
be judged by a mortal judge,
Justice be sentenced by the unjust,
the Teacher be beaten with whips,
the Vine be crowned with thorns,
the Foundation be suspended on wood;
that Strength might grow weak;
that the Healer might be wounded;
that Life might die.”
—Augustine of Hippo

“The Son of God became man to enable men to become the sons of God.” —C. S. Lewis

“The Incarnation is the ultimate reason why the service of God cannot be divorced from the service of man.” —Dietrich Bonhoeffer
