Preaching (1951)
  1. It is shocking to hear this word from both these readings, but it is meant to shock us to life, to wake us from the slumber of complacency, to see Christ in our neighbor.
  2. The only God to invest in is Jesus Christ who bids us follow.
  3. God chooses the foolish things of this world to shame the wise, the poor people of this world to shame the rich, he identifies with sinners and He cannot seem to get enough of those the world ignores.
  4. Trusting the Master to show mercy, he shows mercy in the name of the Master.
  5. God in Christ shows us how to lift up holy hands.
  6. So, you have God’s generosity on the one hand and the greed of the elite on the other. Which would you rather have? Unjust scales or a scale breaking generous God?
  7. Preaching this text is to call for joy, joy for the fellowship that has been found, the fellowship that gathers together this very day.
  8. The sinner who soberly faces her sin has no place to run but to a savior, and the savior to run to is at the cross. The cross is where sin goes to die.
  9. The crosier of Christ was the cross and the narrow gate He led us through to pasture in the doorway of His empty tomb.
