Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

It's ugly, isn't it? The epiphany today, of your sin. When Jesus holds up the mirror of His Law, as He did today... it's not a pretty face looking back, is it? We're. Just. Sinners. I don't want to look at me anymore! Take it away, Jesus! Take it away! And He does! Not the Law. But your sin, your death, your failure. He came to take it all away. So we have hope. Because He did take it away. What we don't want to look at. Now the Law, but our sin. To give us life. All that you need, He will see to it, and He will give. Even if you can't see it, believe the Word of God which speaks it to you.
