“Gifts of price are the evidence of affection, the greatness of the surrender of the greatness of the love. God, who loved the world, gave not an adopted Son, but His own, His Only-begotten. Here is personal interest, true Sonship, sincerity; not creation or adoption or pretense. Herein is the proof of His love and affection, that He gave His own, His Only-begotten Son.” —St. Hilary of Poitiers
“God loved the world so that He gave His only Son the lost to save, That all who would in Him believe Should everlasting life receive. —God Loved the World So That He Gave (LSB 571:1)
Prayer of the Day
O God, You see that of ourselves we have no strength. By Your mighty power defend us from all adversities that may happen to the body and from all evil thoughts that may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
