Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Last year, my daughter's car got hit -- and part of the back bumper got popped out. We pounded it back in, but it's popping out again. Sometimes we try to do that with sin -- fix it ourselves. But if the damage is severe, no way. You're going to have to get it fixed. Someone will have to pay. So God did. That's the final wonderful facet of forgiveness we'll consider tonight. He came. To fix us. And to pay for it Himself. With His life.
