Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

The Word of God, the true light that enlightens every man, the divine hypostasis that became man in order that human beings might become partakers of the divine nature and so divinized, is precisely the focal point of creation. Through Him the Father made all things, ta panta, the universe, the space and time that are the coordinates of our creaturely existence and everything that fills them, with the one world of human beings as its visible apex. - Arthur Carl Piepkorn (okay, so not such an OLD Lutheran, but given his expertise in the old Lutherans, he counts as one) *The Church* - essay, *The One Eucharist for the One World* p. 195
