New Lutheran Quote of the Day

He bears our punishment for our sin, the forsakenness of God.  Anyone bearing his or her own sin is finally lost, but not Jesus.  He is bearing not His own sin, but ours; He is not opposite God, but doing the will of the Father.  He won't let go of us and He won't let go of God.  -- Dr. Norman Nagel, Selected Sermons, p. 315.
