Preparing for Jesus Quotes

“Let heaven intrude upon our earthly affairs to rip our attentions from the world to you again.”
― Walter Wangerin Jr., Preparing for Jesus: Meditations on the Coming of Christ, Advent, Christmas, and the Kingdom

“Mindlessly do the bells of secular celebrations jingle for Christmas. Meaninglessly do carols repeat their tinny joys in all the malls in America. No richer than soda pop is every sentimentalized Christmas special on TV. Fearless is the world at play with godly things, because Godless is its heart.”
― Walter Wangerin Jr., Preparing for Jesus: Meditations on the Coming of Christ, Advent, Christmas, and the Kingdom
