New Lutheran Quote of the Day

Burning through all his [Luther's] theology is a life-and-death concern for the certainty of salvation, a salvation that is ours in the actuality of God coming to man in things.  Therefore not symbols, but signs.  As surely as the fullness of the Godhead was in Jesus of Nazareth bodily, so surely is the body and blood of Christ in the bread and wine. -- Dr. Norman Nagel, CTM 1953, p. 647.
