Jesus' Birth Declares God's Love for Sinners
According to Martin Luther, even from his birth, Jesus was standing with sinners. Luther wrote:
Christ is the kind of person who is not ashamed of sinners—in fact, he even puts them in his family tree! Now if the Lord does that here, so ought we to despise no one … but put ourselves right in the middle of the fight for sinners and help them.
