Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

The sun begins the day and ends it, and yet exists before the day and endures after it.  O Lord Jesus, You began our salvation in Paradise and carried it through the high noon of the scorching cross, and You shall end it on the Last Day, in the evening of the world, and on the day of the restoration of all things You shall summon us to gladness.  You are before all ages from eternity, and You endure forever. -- Valerius Herberger, The Great Works of God, p. 86.
