    Dying with Christ. That, in the end, is the only good way to die, the only way to die well. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So, imitate that.

    Sinai is law. Zion is gospel. Which one will save your hearer? Which one is the author’s audience being directed to? Which one are you directing your hearers to?

    Christian hope is not a pie-in-the-sky optimism in the face of lousy circumstances. Christian hope is assurance in the now for the not yet.

    The new life that is hidden in Christ through burial and resurrection is a new life that starts at your baptism, God’s work on your behalf that has ongoing effects.

    This is what baptism indicates. It is an identity with the victor. It is comforting that the enemies have no hold on me, on us.

    No longer on the outs, God has taken you through Christ’s death and transferred you to His Kingdom, made you a part of his body. Family dinner just would not be complete if you were not there too.

    “Fruit” is the Christian character, the thing that spills out from all who have the spirit of God delivered to them in their baptism.

    The sermon that saves will be the sermon which presents the Gospel and delivers the object of that faith: the Christ who is son, heir, and gifter of that same status for those who receive and believe the Gospel.

    The point is not to get people to better “understand the Holy Trinity.” It is to get the hearer face to face with the fact that Jesus Christ is God.
