The Gospel is gift, pure and simple. It is backwards. It is upside down. It is foolish. And as long as people are sinners, it is as relevant as ever.

The command to love those nearby is as challenging as it is simple. Jesus took the initiative to come near to us in loving sacrifice.

Justification matters so deeply. It is a matter of life and death, Heaven and Hell. It must be preached that way. Especially today.

The only reason we're aware of our old self is in baptism, God created a new self for us.
