New Lutheran Quote of the Day

James means that the law is no longer compulsive. He knows, just as John, that God's Commandments aren't a burden when they're taken from the hand of Christ, not as a duty that has to be performed to achieve salvation, but as something you have a chance to do as Christ's assistant, together with Him. -- Bishop Bo Giertz, *To Live With Christ* p. 627
