Get Out of the Way
Comments on Galatians with an ear to Luther’s commentary
Scripture Text: Galatians 2:7-9 and Mark 9:38-41
Series: Comments on Galatians
Are we getting in the way of the gospel? When the Lord calls people to minister the gospel in a novel way or to different people, do we resist?
What! Contemporary music in worship? A new translation? Reach out to the people on that side of the track? Preach from somewhere other than a pulpit? Go door-to-door with the gospel like that other group does? A woman preacher?
Are people receiving Christ Jesus by the simple preaching of faith, then like the apostles of old, we should glorify God for his grace in the ministries of others even when it looks different. It is the same gospel so get out of the way! Let God’s grace have its way in another life. They want to preach, so let them have at it. God will attend you all.
