Lutherans used to have a post communion prayer that said, in part, "Almighty God, you gave your Son both as a sacrifice for sin and a model of the godly life...." That BOTH seems to have been overlooked so often, so much. Taught in the Lutheran seminary that we can't earn our salvation, I've never been one to focus a whole lot on that, if you know what I mean. What we CAN do, though, is look at the model of the godly life piece. And heal, and forgive, and listen, and hug, and all that other wonderful stuff . . . .
