Life Quote

April 28 “Death is the enemy of the human race—an enemy no one can fight or avoid forever. But God has done a new thing—He has raised Jesus Christ from the dead, never to die again. What other god has done anything like that in all the stories and fables? But wait, there’s more. What god has ever promised to share everlasting life with everyone who trusts in him? Only the true God. Only Jesus.” Daily Devotions from Lutheran Hour Ministries – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • www.lutheransforlife.org
