Luccock: wrapped up in a Person

Advent IV
Meditation:
This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.
—1 John 4:9-10 (NIV)

Quotation:
A scientist said, making a plea for exchange scholarships between nations, “The very best way to send an idea is to wrap it up in a person.” That was what happened at Christmas. The idea of divine love was wrapped up in a Person.
... Halford E. Luccock (1885-1960), “Whoops! It’s Christmas”, in Halford Luccock Treasury, New York: Abingdon, 1963, p. 380 (see the book)
See also 1 John 4:9-10; Luke 4:18; John 5:22-23; 6:29; 8:29-42

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, Your arms embrace me.
