In reply to Rev. Herbert Marshall,.

Pastor Marshall,

Advent greetings in His name.

Thank you for your insight on Synod’s theme: It’s Still All About Jesus!

The “about” should be understood not as downplaying at all the person of Jesus as both God and Man. Of course, as you and I gladly confess, we don’t follow certain principles or rules but a person, THE person, Jesus Christ. We know God in the man, Jesus of Nazareth, the Second Person of the Trinity.

If you desire to change the theme to “It’s Still Jesus” this is very appropriate and is totally up to you, as you know your context better than us.

Cordially in Christ,

Randy
