Today, we remember the reason for Christmas. To help us we have several quotes reminding us that this holiday is about the birth of our savior.
As Christmas approaches, it can be easy to get distracted by all the shopping, decorating, and celebrating. Crosswalk.com compiled 25 quotes from Chrisitan leaders, authors, and preachers that focus on Jesus this holiday season.
Here are just a few:
“Off to one side sits a group of shepherds. They sit silently on the floor, perhaps perplexed, perhaps in awe, no doubt in amazement. Their night watch had been interrupted by an explosion of light from heaven and a symphony of angels. God goes to those who have time to hear him–and so on this cloudless night he went to simple shepherds.” -Max Lucado
“Once in our world, a stable had something in it that was bigger than our whole world.” -C.S. Lewis
“So God throws open the door of this world—and enters as a baby. As the most vulnerable imaginable. Because He wants unimaginable intimacy with you. What religion ever had a god that wanted such intimacy with us that He came with such vulnerability to us? What God ever came so tender we could touch Him? So fragile that we could break Him? So vulnerable that His bare, beating heart could be hurt? Only the One who loves you to death.” -Ann Voskamp
“At this Christmas when Christ comes, will He find a warm heart? Mark the season of Advent by loving and serving others with God’s own love and concern.” -Mother Teresa
