"Our eyes are at fault, that is all.
God is in the manger,
wealth in poverty,
light in darkness,
succor in abandonment.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
God Is In the Manger
* * *
And this shall be a sign to you;
You shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes,
lying in a manger.
Luke 2:12
* * *
“In total reality, he comes in the form of the beggar,
of the dissolute
human child in ragged clothes,
asking for help.
He confronts you in
every person that you meet.
As long as there are people,
Christ will
walk the earth as your neighbor,
as the one through whom God calls you,
speaks to you, makes demands on you.”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
