Merry Christmas!
"She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins."
– Matthew 1:21
"And let this be a comfort to all poor struggling and striving Christians who are not yet set at liberty from their lusts and corruptions: that it is the office of the Spirit of Christ as the king of the church, by his Spirit, to purge the church perfectly, to make it a glorious spouse. And at last he will fulfil his own office."
