"I would not have you contemplate the deity of Christ, the majesty of Christ, but rather his flesh. Look upon the baby Jesus. What can be sweeter than the babe, what more lovely than the mother? See how God invites you in many ways. God places before you a baby, in whom you may take refuge. Now is overcome the power of sin, death, hell, conscience, and guilt, if you come to this gurgling babe and believe that he has come, not to judge you, but to save." - Martin Luther
