That Heaven Might Be Opened

December 21st, 2010 § Leave a Comment

“When he was thrown into a stable, and placed in a manger, and a lodging refused him among men, it was that heaven might be opened to us, not as a temporary lodging, but as our eternal country and inheritance, and that angels might receive us into their abode.”

John Calvin, Harmony of the Evangelists, on Luke 2:1-7
