Because He Has Shown His Mercy to Us

Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

There are four words you never want to hear. Four words that cause a lot of heartache -- you're not good enough. That thought is all over the readings we heard today. Now, we confess that every week. But when we confess our sins at the beginning of the service each week, it isn't just this sin or that sin that you are confessing -- that you just messed up a little this week. No, you are really confessing I am not good enough. And yet, God wants you here with Him.
