From Johann Scheffler (1624-77):
God must be born within you.
Were Christ to be born a thousand times in Bethlehem,
And yet not be born in you, you will remain lost.
External things do not help.
The cross of Golgotha cannot save you from sin,
Unless that cross is raised within you.
Raise yourself from the dead!
It does not help you that Christ is risen
If you remain bound to sin and death.
