Life through Death
nless the Word
of God had first assumed our mortal flesh he could not have died for us.
Only in that way was the immortal God able to die and to give life to mortal
humans.
Therefore, by this double sharing he brought about a wonderful exchange. We made death possible for him, and he made life possible for us.
-- Sermon 218C, 1
Prayer. For your law's sake I have kept faith with you, my Lord, since you have thought it worthwhile to lay down for me the law of mercy, to forgive me all my sins and to admonish me on other matters lest I offend you.
-- Commentary on Psalm 129, 3
