Old Lutheran Quote of the Day

Christ came into the world to unite heaven and earth, to reconcile God and man, and to lead us sinner back into fellowship with God. Therefore, as soon as a person, in penitence, recognizes his fall from God and turns in faith to Jesus Christ, the Mediator of the New Testament, the wall of separation crumbles, his sins are forgiven him, and God unites Himself to him in grace.—C. F. W. Walther, God Grant It!, p. 708, 709.
