Midwinter's Day is fast approaching. I ran across a neat quote by an unknown person today. It's in a book I've had for at least 20 years called "Amazing Grace: 366 Inspiring Hymn Stories for Daily Devotions" by Kenneth W. Osbeck (copyright 1990).
This quote is in a devotion on the Christmas hymn, "What Child Is This?"
"He who is the Bread of Life began his ministry hungering. He who is the Water of Life ended his ministry thirsty. Christ hungered as man, yet fed multitudes as God. He was weary, yet he is our rest. He prayed, yet he hears our prayers. He was sold for thirty pieces of silver, yet he redeems sinners. He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, yet he was the Good Shepherd. He died, and by dying destroyed death."
That pretty much says it all, I think.
