2. Reverend Borghardt's and John Edwards' sermons differ in the areas of Law and Gospel. Edwards preaches of the horrors of hell creating an image in the mind of the reader of an angry God full of wrath toying with humanity for his own amusement. He also preaches of God as accepting nothing less of his children than fulfillment of the Law. On the contrary, Borghardt preaches the saving message of the Gospel through Christ Jesus. He reveals that through our Baptism, God's grace, and Christ's death on the cross we are saved and will spend eternity with him in heaven.
Your contrast between the two sermons is spot on. Borghardt is Christ-filled while Edwards is condemmning all.
ReplyDeleteJordan, I like the way you described the "horrors of hell" and how God "toys with humanity." These phrases help me to better understand the message that Edwards is giving to us. Well written, though!
