Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

That person, those people, don't matter. Maybe you don't say that, but have you ever felt it, thought it, or acted like it? Those people don't matter. Words that I hope bring all of us to repentance today. But words that can bring us joy too! In this way: to know that these are words that are not and will never be uttered by God. For the message of Sanctity of Life Sunday is that those people matter. That YOU matter. And not just matter, but are precious to God. And that, to use the words of Isaiah, your God rejoices over you! For those people -- and you -- were redeemed by God.
