New Lutheran Quote of the Day

Confession of faith not only unites us with those who today confess with us the true faith, but also with those who confessed it before us, and with those of coming generations who will confess it after us.  To the catholicity that is not limited by space (ubique) belongs the catholicity that is not limited by time (semper).  This finds expression in the fact that the Lutheran Confessions always emphasize most strongly that they are not proclaiming anything new, but the same old truth. -- Hermann Sasse, *We Confess:  Jesus Christ* p. 81.
