Because I will be packing up and moving in the next couple weeks (I’ve accepted a call to be Senior Pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Sarver, PA. See pic), this will be my last post until sometime in August. Hope you enjoy!
“A man can with confidence boast in Christ and say: ‘Mine are Christ’s living, doing, and speaking, his suffering and dying, mine as much as if I had lived, done, spoken, suffered, and died as he did…’ Everything which Christ has is ours, graciously bestowed on us unworthy men out of God’s sheer mercy, although we have rather deserved wrath and condemnation, and hell also… Through faith in Christ… [his] righteousness becomes our righteousness and all that he has become ours; rather, he himself becomes ours… This is an infinite righteousness, and one that swallows up all sins in a moment, for it is impossible that sin should exist in Christ.”
Martin Luther “Two Kinds of Righteousness“
