This is the word of the prophet:"Unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given" (Isa. 9:6) This is for us the hardest point, not so much to believe that he is the son of the virgin and God himself, as to believe that this Son of God is ours.
~"The Maiden Mary" by Martin Luther from a collection of Advent readings, "Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus"
Chad read this reading by Luther outloud this morning before church and when he read this sentence we both had to pause and take in the great truth that Jesus the Son of God could be called...ours..
