if we only knew the profound reality of Christmas..

 'After the Incarnation we should wonder at nothing,' writes an author of the seventeenth century. No marvel will ever equal that one, and there is nothing more for us to be astonished at. And what more could we wish for? 'He did not even spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all; and must not that gift be accompanied by the gift of all else?' (Rom. viii. 32). The Son of God lived with us, like us. I speak to all baptised Christians: he lives in us.
