Some time ago, the date for Good Friday fell on March 25, which is also the festival of the Annunciation of Our Lord. Nine months before Christmas, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us as an embryo in the womb of the virgin Mary. In this way He redeemed and granted further sanctity to every human life from fertilization to forever. In recognition of this, a band of Lutheran pastors authored a series of devotions exploring God’s grace in life issues for the season of Lent. This booklet, entitled Christ the Life of All the Living, is available from Lutherans For Life and Concordia Publishing House.
The same band of pastors later developed a companion devotional for the season of Advent. Emmanuel in Every Season traces God’s mercies through the entire span of a person’s life. We offer you this free downloadable booklet for your comfort and encouragement as Gospel-motivated voices For Life.
Jesus we proclaim, warning and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. (Colossians 1:28)
