In this Life Together Digest, the Rev. Dr. Matthew C. Harrison, president of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod (LCMS), gives an Easter greeting and walks through Scripture passages about Christ’s sacrificial atonement for our sins, and of our free justification by grace.

“The resurrection is the absolution of the world. It’s already obtained, and it comes to you in one way — by faith. Believe it, and it’s yours,” says Harrison.

  • Photos from the Illinois March for Life in Springfield, Ill.;
  • A “Life Together as Synod” video about what it means to be part of the LCMS;
