Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Jesus talks about amputation today. Better to lose an arm, leg, or eye than that your whole body be lost to the hell of fire. And He says that because He knows -- although we don't often know, or acknowledge -- that we're in a war. Against General Satan and his army of evil. But Jesus doesn't want any amputations! He doesn't want even one member of His Body, the Church, lost. The great physician of body and soul has medicine for us. The medicine of forgiveness
