The resurrection means your ultimate problem is no longer ahead of you. The grave is not waiting for you. It is behind you.

Job needs a savior, and he knows it. And in Jesus, he gets one.

The following is an excerpt from Law and Gospel in Action written by Mark Mattes (1517 Publishing, 2019).
02/21/19
We have at least one thing going for us: we know the first of these two days —our birthday.
02/20/19
Asking, “Do you have to be baptized to be saved?” is really like asking, “Does Jesus have to save you in order for you to be saved?”
02/19/19
Like the Pharisees, as well-meaning, contemporary Christians we too can often add fences to God’s Law.

Christ and the Evangelists, along with saints Peter and Paul, show a deep attachment to the Book of Psalms...it was because the Psalms were about the Messiah, the Christ of God.
02/17/19
The resurrection of Christ is not God’s way of loving the last enemy (15:26). He despises it; defeats it. He makes such a mockery of it that it loses its name among Christians. Death is dead and can no longer be called death, but merely sleep, just a sweet and momentary sleep until the living Christ’s parousia (v. 23).
02/17/19
This week Jesus continues by discussing the behavior of his people. He’s particularly interested in the way his people treat others—especially those who mistreat them. Like last week, the only way to describe it is backwards.
02/14/19
The history of the early Reformation in the New World is both a tale of pirates and the battle of catechisms.
02/13/19
Pergamum! Oh, Pergamum! Behold the glory of Pergamum! It was not at this time the greatest provincial power, nor was it the most favored in the Roman Empire.
02/12/19
You have heard it said that "Dead men tell no tales." “Ah, but they do tell tales!” says I.
02/11/19
The prophet Jonah longed for one thing: to see the Assyrian city of Nineveh utterly destroyed by the wrath of God. His wish eventually came true

And so, when you preach the Law, you are also instructing the conscience and thereby forming it. For some of your hearers, this will result in activating their consciences, making them more sensitive, so they become more aware of their sin and more urgently seek the Gospel. For others, it is a re-instruction.
