[Charles Henrickson]

I preached on this same theme and text this morning:

"First Things First" (Sermon for Easter Day)

You are a “preacher”? What makes you qualified? Just wondering.

I’ll need to read your sermon. Thanks. Although I am a Calvinist, I attended a Lutheran Church-LCMS with some friends for Maundy Thursday services.

I do like question 17 from Luther’s Small Catechism:

1. The Law teaches what we are to do and not to do; the Gospel teaches what God has done, and still does, for our salvation.

2. The Law shows us our sin and the wrath of God; the Gospel shows us our Savior and the grace of God.

3. The Law must be preached to all men, but especially to impenitent sinners; the Gospel must be preached to sinners who are troubled in their minds because of their sins.
