The proverb has it that Hunger is the best cook. The Law makes afflicted consciences hungry for Christ. Christ tastes good to them. Hungry hearts appreciate Christ. Thirsty souls are what Christ wants. He invites them: Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Christ's benefits are so precious that He will dispense them only to those who need them and really desire them.
Martin LutherThe authority of Scripture is greater than the comprehension of the whole of man's reason.
Martin LutherFaith does not inquire whether there are good works to be done, but even before asking questions, faith has done the works already.
Martin Luther
