Who_s Stirring the Hornets
Have you ever had anyone try to discourage you from using the Law to show sinners that they need a Savior? Why would anyone oppose it when, in fact, Jesus used it? Martin Luther put his finger on why. In a sermon in which he spoke of the Law being used as a schoolmaster to bring sinners to Christ, he shows who it is that stirs up the hornet's nest. He gave these words of warning: "This now is the Christian teaching and preaching, which God be praised, we know and possess, and it is not necessary at present to develop it further, but only to offer the admonition that it be maintained in Christendom with all diligence. For Satan has attacked it hard and strong from the beginning until the present, and gladly would he completely extinguish it and tread it underfoot." There goes another minute. Gone forever. Go share your faith while you still have time.
