Excerpt
I have just spent a fruitless day and a half trying to find some assurance in the Scriptures that the Son of God came to be "my personal Savior." Being as human as the next person, I have always rather relished the thought that, however much of a failure I may have been otherwise, I was at least enough of a sinner to trouble deep Heaven and prompt the Heavenly Father to send His Son to save me. As a matter of fact, what had always thrilled me most about the Christmas story was the fact that it seemed to be a story about God and me - about my sins, tragic in their consequences and cosmic in their significance; and about God's special and personal concern for me as it lies revealed in the manger in Bethlehem.
