Sermon Text- Matthew 22:34-46
WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU’RE A GOOD PERSON?
– – – Preaching the Catechism – Law and Gospel Revisited
If you say you are a good person, what is that based on? The Pharisees asked Jesus what the “greatest commandment” is, with the implication that we could thereby say we are a good person. So, do you love God with all your heart, soul, and mind? Really? Then how can you say you are a good person? Jesus tells us how; it’s just not what is expected.
