“It is here, in the thing that happened at the first Christmas,
that the most profoundunfathomable depths of the Christian revelation lie.
God became man;...
the Almighty appeared on earth as a helpless human baby,
unable to do more than lie and stare and wriggle and make noises,
needing to be fed and changed and taught to talk like any other child...
The more you think about it, the more staggering it gets.
Nothing in fiction is so fantastic as this truth of the incarnation.”
- J. I. Packer
