New Lutheran Quote of the Day

When Christians celebrate holidays, they are not just memorial celebrations. Of course, we hear a message about something that happened in the past, but at the same time we are taking part in something that is happening in the here and now. What once happened has a purpose throughout time.  It applies to all people. It's something that happens again and again in our hearts and affects our lives. That's the way it is at Pentecost today. -- Bishop Bo Giertz, To Live with Christ, p. 371.
