For Luther, those who refuse Christ as a curse want their sin removed not in Christ but in themselves.

When we own up to our sin, our Father is not scandalized, and his response is not to reconsider his calling us.

God is mercy. He was mercy then. He’s mercy now. God showed them His glory, if only a reflection, in the face of Moses.

This world of unbearable grief and accidental calamity is being renewed and, soon, will be completely bereft of every pernicious foe.

The language of faith speaks promise and persecution, hope and trial, victory and pain. The language of the world may well speak the former, but rarely the latter.
02/08/22
God’s design in the Law is to enable man to know himself; to perceive the false and unjustified state of his heart; to discover how far he is from God and to disdain his own goodness.

Because Jesus has set us free, we enjoy a freedom of movement in His world, under His grace, that loosens our tongues to sing His praise.
