Daily Luther Sermon Quote - Trinity 3 - "Christ is both the shepherd and
the woman; for he has lighted the lamp, that is, the Gospel, and he goes
about in the desert, that is, the world. He sweeps the house, and seeks the
lost sheep and lost piece of silver, when he comes with his Word and
proclaims to us, first our sins, and then his grace and mercy. Christ’s
declaration, that he is the shepherd and has laid our sins upon his back or
shoulders, makes us trust in him fully, and makes publicans and other
sinners run after him. These would not have come unto him thus, had they
regarded him as a hard and wrathful judge; for they had previously
acknowledged themselves to be sinners and in need of his grace."
