C.S. Lewis on Jesus' Incarnation

"Every minute it became clearer to him that the parallel he had tried to draw between Eden and Perelandra was crude and imperfect. What had happened on Earth, when Maleldil [God] was born a man at Bethlehem, had altered the universe."
-Perelandra

"In the Christian story God descends to reascend. He comes down; down to the very roots and sea-bed of the Nature he has created. But He goes down to come up again and bring the whole ruined world up with Him."
-Miracles

"The Son of God became a man to enable men to become sons of God."
-Mere Christianity
