God must therefore first take the sledge-hammer of the Law in His fists and smash the beast of self-righteousness and its brood of self-confidence, self wisdom, and self-help. When the conscience has been thoroughly frightened by the Law it welcomes the Gospel of grace with its message of a Savior Who came-not to break the bruised reed nor to quench the smoking flax-but to preach glad tidings to the poor, to heal the broken-hearted, and to grant forgiveness of sins to all the captives.” FirstsPersonsHas BeensIdeasSelfHelpingLawSinPleasurePoorBreakGraceSelf HelpBrokenHolyMessagesConscienceDenySelf ConfidenceGladHealSavingBeastSmokingSinnerGrantsRighteousnessFrightenedSaviorFistsHammersHeartedCaptivesReedsBruisedSelf RighteousnessBroken HeartedQuenchTidingsForgiveness Of SinsFlax Author:Martin Luther
