Sermon on the Nativity of Jesus Christ
And the Word became flesh!…in order to make us earthly beings into
heavenly ones, in order to make sinners into saints; in order to raise
us up from corruption into incorruption, from earth to heaven; from
enslavement to sin and the devil – into the glorious freedom of children
of God; from death – into immortality, in order to make us sons of God
and to seat us together with Him upon the Throne as His royal children.
O, boundless compassion of God! O, inexpressible wisdom of God! O,
great wonder, astounding not only the human mind, but the angelic
[mind] as well!”
St. John of Kronstadt
