New Lutheran Quote of the Day

That purpose God has achieved, according to Scripture, fully and alone in Jesus Christ. In Him the rhythm and the tension alike are finally broken and resolved. They are broken and resolved by fusion, by God's combining judgment and redemption in one act, in one Person, in one event. Here in this Man Jesus, in His life and death and rising again, here and only here God has brought to a single focus the whole meaning of historical existence. -- Richard Jungkuntz, *The Gospel of Baptism* p. 52
