“Christmas is real magic – not the magic of wizards, wands and wishes, not the stagemagic of illusion, but the poetic magic that derives from supernatural reality. What could be more awe-inspiring and worthy of celebration than that unique turning point in history when supernature invaded nature, the creator entered his creation, the Word became flesh, God became man? What story could be more suitable to tell to every generation of children? Magic because it’s true.”
— John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University
Although this quotation is from a response to Richard Dawkins’ most recent book, this observation by John Lennox expresses my own wonder and joy at Christmas time so well I had to share.
May your Christmas be filled with the most powerful magic of all!
Blessings!
