From the Confessions: The Large Catechism, Introduction
One might say that whoever knows the Ten Commandments perfectly knows the whole of Scripture. That person can advise, help, comfort, judge, and decide both spiritual and temporal matters in all affairs and cases. He is qualified to sit in judgment upon all doctrines, estates, spirits, laws, and everything else in the world.
Pulling It Together: When I was in high school, my grandma tried everything to fatten me up, as we say. I think skinny me was a slight on her good cooking. God, also, has laid out a banquet of his good news in the Scriptures, which he urges us to eat (Psalm 119:103; Jeremiah 15:16; Ezekiel 2:8; Matthew 4:4). Yet, we sure do have a lot of skinny people in his church.
Prayer: Fatten me up, Lord. Amen.
