Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

How can any creatures ever sufficiently admire and celebrate these absolutely magnificent works of Christ, our only redeemer? He erased our sin with his own blood, devoured our death through his death, and conquered Satan in himself. Consequently that which is prophesied in Psalm 111 is now fulfilled: 'The Lord sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever.' For through our Lord Jesus Christ God has given us a most glorious victory over our enemies. -- Urbanus Rhegius, *Preaching the Reformation* pp. 55ff.
