Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

[Regarding the heathen] Like us, they all have one God in heaven, who wants to be their Father, and one Savior. They, too, are reconciled with God, and all their sins have been paid for. They are all destined to eternal life and eternal communion with God. Paradise in heaven and on earth has again been opened to them. But they know none of this because no one proclaimed it to them. They do not know where they originated and where they are going. -- C. F. W. Walther, *God Grant It!* p. 108
