Christmas Thoughts: Dec. 19

THE MIRACLE SUPREME

"What can be said that is more marvelous than this, that the Son of God assumes the flesh of man & is born of a virgin? What is more astounding than this, that the Son of God, battling with death & the devil, allows Himself to be overcome, offers His life to His enemies, & overcomes while being overcome? And the miracle supreme is this, that the man Christ, who died on the cross, rises from death & the sealed grave on the third day, ascends to heaven, & sits at the right hand of God with His flesh. What can possibly be said, nay, even conceived, that is equal to these miracles?"
--Martin Luther, quoted by Dr. Ewwald M. Plass in "The Miracle Supreme, The Lutheran Witness, Dec. 2018
