New Lutheran Quote of the Day

We do not apprehend.  We are apprehended.  We are apprehended as His creatures, and He takes hold of us with the media of our creatureliness, humanity, water, bread, wine, and words.  Our rescue does not undo the Creation.  Men, body and soul and our kin of creation, are redeemed.  Our consummation is in being what God designed us to be. -- Dr. Norman Nagel, CTM 1956, p. 703.
