"The Son of God became a man..." -C.S. Lewis

"The Son of God became a man to enable men to become the sons of God."

-C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

To Think About

• Jesus cared enough about us to descend from His heavenly home and live a life as a man on Earth so that we could go to heaven to be with Him forever. 
• This quote summarizes the true meaning of Christmas so well! Keep this in mind as we go about the season and you are doing all of your Christmas shopping, decorating, last-minute homework, wrapping presents, performing in Nutcrackers, Christmas plays, pageants, recitals...remember that none of those things are really what the season is about!
• One of my favorite Christmas hymns is "Thou Who Wast Rich Beyond All Splendor." It goes like this at the beginning: "Thou who wast rich beyond all splendor all for love's sake becamest poor. Thrones for a manger didst surrender, sapphire paved courts for stable floor." It captures the essence of Christmas beautifully! (And the tune is beautiful too...if you've never heard it, go look it up!)

What do you think? Do you like this quote? Do you have trouble remembering the true meaning of Christmas?
