Thank you for the sermon, Pastor. It was my devotion this morning.
We will be singing "Alleluia, Song of Gladness" as our closing hymn today, our last "alleluia" until Easter morning. The liturgy is such a rich way to worship the Lord. Too bad so many churches have abandoned it.

Thanks for the ping, Pastor. I'm so looking forward to the Lenten season.

I know you like Dr. Nagel, so here's an excellent quote from “The Incarnation and the Lord’s Supper in Luther” (Concordia Theological Monthly, September 1953.)

"God without flesh is useless, upon the flesh of Christ, upon that Infant clinging to the bosom of the Virgin, you are to set your eyes and simply with steadfast heart say, "I have neither in heaven nor earth a God, nor do I know one, outside this flesh, which is gently enfolded in the bosom of Mary. God is my God, he puts on my flesh, becomes as I am, bears my calamity, yet without sin. Yet faith must go on further. When God is fashioned into this bawling boy, it declares, "He could not come closer."
