Today's episode featured the hymn "Glory Be to God the Father" (LSB 506).
"Glory Be to God the Father" proclaims the triune nature of the one, true God - the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The triune nature of God is fully revealed through Jesus Christ. Due to this, the majority of this hymn proclaims the person and work of Jesus Christ. Through Christ alone, we are washed clean from our sin. Through Christ alone, we are purchased, redeemed, made righteous. Through Christ alone, we inherit eternal life through His atoning death and bodily resurrection. Through Christ alone, the powers of sin, death and Satan are destroyed. And, so, we sing with the choir of angels: "Honor, riches, power, dominion! Thus its praise creation brings. Glory, glory, glory to the King of kings!"
