CHRIST IS KING;
THE CHURCH HIS BRIDE
“Worthy are you to take the scroll and to open its seals, for you were slain, and by your blood you ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation and you have made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they shall reign on the earth.”
Luther’s Large Catechism
Part 2 in our series, “Christian, What Do You Believe?” This episode takes a look at the Biblical exhortation to train up children in the fear and knowledge of God, and it takes a look at how Martin Luther formulated his Large and Short Catechisms in such a way as to communicate all the Christian life into just a handful of sections: The Ten Commandments, The Apostles Creed, and The Lord’s Prayer. However, the teachings that he supplies with these segments is beyond comparison to today’s average preacher, and well worth your time to study them.
