Old Lutheran Quote of the Day
Once the wood of the curse, [the cross] has now become, after the Promised Blessing for all people offered Himself upon it, a tree of blessing, an altar of sacrifice for the atonement, and a sweet-smelling aroma to God. Today, the cross is still a terror - but only to hell. It shines upon its ruin as a sign of victory over sin, death, and Satan. -- C. F. W. Walther, *Treasury* p. 922
