More CS Lewis on the Meaning of Christmas

“My idea of God is not a divine idea. It has to be shattered time after time. He shatters it himself. He is the great iconoclast. Could we not almost say that this shattering is one of the marks of his presence? The Incarnation is the supreme example; it leaves all previous ideas of the Messiah in ruins.”

A Grief Observed [London: Faber&Faber, 1961], p.52
