Quotemeal: Dec. 20th, 1956

Thursday, December 20, 1956

"The Christmas message is that there is hope for a ruined humanity - hope of pardon, hope of peace with God, hope of glory - because at the Father's will Jesus Christ became poor, and was born in a stable so that thirty years later He might hang on a cross."
— J. I. Packer
