Gerhard and Walther

Marvelous is the goodness of our Saviour, that He not only assumed our nature in His incarnation, and carried it with Him to His throne of heavenly glory, but that He also gives us His own body and blood to nourish our souls unto eternal life.—Johann Gerhard, Sacred Meditation XVIII

And ever since God reconciled Himself to fallen mankind and redeemed it, the devil and his angels have been striving, day and night, to deceive me and to drive them away from that reconciliation and redemption.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 829.
