Thou Hast Desired Thy Life for Man

Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Today, I reflect on the profound truth that God desires life for us. Not just existence, but a life that overflows with His light and hope, even in the midst of the brokenness we’ve created. Our rebellion turned this world into a “house of doom,” yet Christ stepped into that darkness to breathe our poisoned air, endure our despair, and win us back to life. I explore how this message is tied to Sanctity of Life Sunday and the legacy of St. Titus—a reminder that every life matters to God, from the womb to the tomb. Christ’s victory gives us hope to live as agents of His Kingdom, even amidst wolves. It’s not easy, but in Him, we find forgiveness, healing, and the strength to bring His life to others. How will you let His life transform yours today?
