Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The spectre of a Judgment Day is a frightening one for most people. Having to stand before the Almighty and give an account. Having to answer for all that you did. When I was young, if you did something wrong, we used to say "that was going in your permanent record." Today though, it's worse than that. Today, it's the internet and social media and archives of things from the past. So the thought of a Judgment Day when everything is out there. Yeah, that's frightening. But these verses from Daniel we heard today weren't meant to frighten us, but to comfort us!
