Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

When the Wisdom of God speaks in Ecclesiasticus: "My pleasure is with the children of mankind" it is to be understood as referring to the Son of God in that He, out of great delight and from the love that He bears for us men, assumed flesh and blood and had His special delight and pleasure in this work of becoming man. -- Blessed Johann Gerhard, On Holy Christmas Day V, Postilla I:84
