From Johann Gerhard’s Postilla (1613)
I Am the Resurrection and the Life
(1899)
The following is from a funeral sermon based on Psalm 66:16
“For Young Married Men”
Again, he brought me to a knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus Christ. “I believe,” says Luther in his explanation of the Third Article, “I believe that I cannot by my own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ, my Lord, or come to Him.” Ah, yes; man cannot save himself. “Without me, ye can do nothing,” saith the Lord. “No man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.” “It is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of His good pleasure.”
This being true, what would our brother, could he speak, now say to us? Would it not be this: He brought me to a knowledge of Christ. He brought me to a saving faith in God’s pardon as it is in Christ Jesus. “He called me by the Gospel. He enlightened my understanding with His gifts, He sanctified my will; He kept me unto the end. To Him be the glory. Oh, come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will declare what God hath done for my soul.” He redeemed me from sin. He, by His word and grace, brought me to a knowledge of my Savior. He showed me pardon in Him. He gave me power to grasp it: aye, to hold it.
