Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

It was in the Supper that Paul once learned to understand that the church is the body of Christ. Because Jesus Christ, both High Priest and sacrificial Lamb, gives us his body and blood to eat and to drink, we who were once incorporated into him in Holy Baptism will be preserved in fellowship with him. -- Hermann Sasse, *The Lonely Way* vol. I:487
