Consolation

Just a little something from John Piper I liked today...

When Jesus was born, the voice of God became flesh and dwelt among us. And what the voice said was, "Console, console my people." The consolation that God's anger is past...the consolation that our Heavenly Father has a tender affection for us in our weakness...the consolation that our sins are pardoned and "cast into the depths of the sea" (Micah 7:19).

John Piper, "Looking for the Consolation of Israel"
