"For a child has been born--for us!
the gift of a son--for us!
He'll take over
the running of the world.
His names will be: Amazing Counselor,
Strong God.
Eternal Father,
Prince of Wholeness.
His ruling authority will grow,
and there will be no limits to the wholeness he brings."

---Isaiah 9:6-7 MSG

"By thine own eternal Spirit,
Rule in all our hearts alone:
By thine all-sufficient merit
Raise us to thy glorious throne.

Come though long-expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in thee."

--Charles Wesley

"Born thy people to deliver,
Born a child, and yet a king,
Born to reign in us for ever,
Now thy gracious kingdom bring.

Come thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in thee."

12/22/2015

"Come, thou long-expected Jesus,
Born to set thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in thee.

Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart."

---Charles Wesley

"Light of Light that shineth,
Ere the world's began,
Draw Thou near, and lighten
Every heart of man."
Amen.

"What can I give him,
Poor as I am?
If I were a shepherd,
I would bring a lamb;
If I were a Wiseman,
I would do my part;
Yet what I can I give him--
Give him my heart."

"Those who assert that he was a mere man, begotten by Joseph...being ignorant of him who from the Virgin is Emmanuel...are deprived of his gift, which is eternal life. Not receiving the incorruptible Word, they remain in mortal flesh and are debtors to death, not obtaining the antidote of life."

---Irenaeus

"The purpose and cause of the incarnation was that He might illuminate the world by His wisdom and excite it to the love of Himself."

---Peter Abelard

"I know men and I tell that Jesus Christ is no mere man. Between Him and every other person in the world there is no possible term of comparison. Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne, and I have founded empires. But on what did we rest the creation of our genius? Upon force. Jesus Christ founded His empire upon love; and at this hour millions of men would die for him."

---Napoleon Bonaparte

"Jesus Christ: the meeting place of eternity and time, the blending of deity and humanity, the junction of heaven and earth."

---Unknown Christian

"Christ, by highest heaven adored,
Christ the everlasting Lord!
Late in time behold him come,
Offspring of the virgin's womb.
Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
Hail the incarnate Diety."

---Charles Wesley

"He was himself forsaken that none of His children might ever need to utter His cry of loneliness."

----J.H. Vincent
