Passage: Hebrews 12:1-2
Hebrews 12:1-2
#62 “The true treasure of the Church is the Most Holy Gospel of the glory and the grace of God.” (This is on the Art Glass window)
“Earnest Admonition to All Christians, to Keep Themselves from Rebellion and Insurrection.” By Martin Luther
“each person ought to refrain from mentioning my name, and not call oneself a Lutheran, but rather, a Christian. What is Luther? The teaching is not mine! In the same vein, I have been crucified for no one. Saint Paul (1 Cor. 3:4) would not allow it that the Christians would be called Pauline or Petrine, but just Christians. How did it happen to me that I, a poor, stinking sack of maggots, should have someone call the children of Christ after my unworthy name? Not so, beloved friends! Let us eliminate the names that identify various parties and just call ourselves Christians, because of Christ, whose teaching we have….I am and wish to be master of no man. I have, along with the community, the one, universal teaching of Christ, who alone is our master. (Matt. 23:8)”
