Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

The first thing to say on a Sanctity of Life Sunday is this: God loves you. Those the world thinks are worth something, and those the world thinks we'd be better off without. Those WE think are worth something, and those WE think we'd be better off without. God loves them all. And you. God loves you. Even when you don't love Him back. Because Sanctity of Life Sunday isn't about us better than them, because we're Christians and they're not. So this day is a day for us to do what the people of Nazareth that day did not -- repent. And receive the Jesus of mercy and grace that came for us. And the forgiveness He has for us. And the life He has for us.
