As Christmas approaches, we invite you to prepare your hearts to meet Jesus afresh. Here are five quotes to guide your mind and heart to the hope of his birth at Christmas:
- “In the birth of Christ, God chose to be like us. Submitting himself under the weaknesses that all humans experience which makes sense because a holy God has to be a humble God…God chose to be like you, so He could help you.” – Jackie Hill Perry
- “The Christmas Story: There is hope for the weak, for those who’ve failed, for the wicked, the rebellious and those who are foolish and lost.” – Paul Tripp
- “The Christmas message is that there is hope for a ruined humanity–hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of glory–because at the Father’s will Jesus Christ became poor and was born in a stable so that thirty years later, he might hang on a cross. It is the most wonderful message that the world has ever heard or will hear.” – J. I. Packer
- “You have heard the phrase in “Hark! the Herald Angels Sing”— “Mild, he lays his glory by.” What does that mean? He did it voluntarily, willingly, and lovingly. No one forced him. It wasn’t just a duty. He faced unimaginable pain and death out of love for you.” – Tim Keller
- “We find hope in the ancestry of Jesus that no matter what we’ve done or where we come from, we too can be included in Jesus’ family. Jesus does not look for people who are perfect and have never failed or made mistakes to be in his family. Instead, he is drawn toward people who recognize their failures and see their need for him.” – Nancy Guthrie
