Some Deep Christmas Quotes

"Infinite, and an infant. Eternal, and yet born of a woman. Almighty, and yet hanging on a woman's breast. Supporting a universe, and yet needing to be carried in a mother's arms. King of angels, and yet the reputed son of Joseph. Her of all things, and yet the carpenter's despised son. Oh, the wonder of Christmas." - Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892)

"He, through whom time was mad, was made in time;
and He, older by eternity that the world itself, was younger in age than many of His servants in the world;
He, who made man, was made man;
He was given existence by a mother whom he brought into existence;
He was carried in hands which he formed;
He nursed at breasts which He filled;
He cried like a babe in the manger in speechless infancy - this Word without which human eloquence is speechless!"
Sermon On Christmas by Augustine of Hippo

"For the sun to fall from its sphere, and be degraded into a wandering atom, for an angel to be turned out of heaven, and to be converted into a silly fly or worm, had been no such great abasement; for they were but creatures before, and so they would abide still, though in an inferior order or species of creatures. The distance betwixt the highest and lowest species of creatures, is but a finite distance. The angel and the worm dwell not so far apart. But for the infinite glorious Creator of all things, to become a creature, is a mystery exceeding all human understanding. The distance between God and the highest order of creatures, is an infinite distance." - John Flavel
