This has become one of my favorite Christmas insights. Thanks, Evelyn Underhill
"Human nature is like a stable
inhabited by the ox of passion and the ass of prejudice; animals which take up a
lot of room and which I suppose most of us are feeding on the quiet. And
it is there between them, pushing them out, that Christ must be born and in
their very manger he must be laid – and they will be the first to fall on their
knees before him. Sometimes Christians seem far nearer to those animals
than to Christ in his simple poverty, self-abandoned to God."
