Law and Gospel (772)

  2. What does being free from sin, which is obviously a good thing, have to do with being free from the Law, which sounds dangerous?
  3. The church does well to remind the world that God is unmasked, indeed, that God has unmasked himself in the person of Jesus.

  11. Love continues to gently but endlessly pursue the narrator, despite his persistence in pulling away in the opposite direction.
  12. When we genuinely measure ourselves, we will find ourselves dreadfully lacking.
