Our Saviour's Lutheran Church

The Gospel cannot be preached and heard enough. We preach nothing new; but we are forever and incessantly preaching about the man called Jesus Christ, true God and man, who died for our sins and was raised from the dead for our justification.

But although we are forever preaching and repeating this message, we shall never be able to grasp it sufficiently. The Gospel tastes best to those who lie in the straits of death or whom an evil conscience oppresses; for in that case “hunger is a good cook,” as we say, one who makes the food taste good. For when they feel their misery, the heart and conscience can hear nothing more soothing than the Gospel; for this they long, on this they are eager to feed, nor can they get too much of it.

These are not my words.  They are those of Martin Luther.
