Gerhard and Walther

Let us stand in wonder at the marvelous power of our God, who was able to unite in one two natures so diverse as the divine and the human, so that one and the same Person is now both God and man.—Johann Gerhard, Sacred Meditation XIV

With our every step, we draw closer to eternity, but our condition in the short term of our life determines our fate in the long term of the hereafter. Our life is the path by which Christ leads us into eternal life or the world and our own flesh and blood lead us into eternal death.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 809.
