"Humans always aspire to ascend to heaven, proving their worthiness through good deeds, reason, or piety; but at Christmas, God does the opposite—He doesn't wait for people to come up, but willingly descends into the manger. The starting point of salvation is not human ability, but God's humility."
— Martin Luther

"If you ask me what the most important qualification for a pastor is, I will answer: humility. If you ask a second and a third question, I will still answer: humility. Because without humility, even the most correct truth will become a tool of pride."
