Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

Now God the Father was (as Basil says) the initiator, predicator, and instigator of the creation of heaven and earth, while the Lord Jesus was the craftsman of creation, and the Holy Spirit was the finisher, polisher, and preparer, and made everything beautiful and pleasant to look at.  Thus all three persons were active in this work. -- Valerius Herberger, The Great Works of God, p. 37.
