I am also a doctor and preacher; yes, as learned and experienced as all the

people who have such assumptions and contentment. Yet I act as a child who is

being taught the catechism. Every morning--and whenever I have time--I read

and say, word for word, the Ten Commandments, the Creed, the Lord's Prayer,

the Psalms, and such. I must still read and study them daily. Yet I cannot

master the catechism as I wish. (LC Preface 7)

Now the earth was corrupt in God's sight, and the earth was filled with violence. (Genesis 6:11)

What does it mean to be corrupt? Literally, to be on the way to ruin. Because of sin, the entire earth had become like a banana with a greasy, black peel. No one wants that.

God promises the Flood because of this horrible corruption. God wants all people to be saved (1 Timothy 2:4), but sin cannot stand in His presence. Even now, God promises that those who persist in their sinful corruption “will suffer the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His might” (2 Thessalonians 1:9).

For Noah’s generation, it was a Flood of water that would destroy the corruption. In the final judgment, corruption will be destroyed forever in the lake of fire (Revelation 20:14). Amen.

"What shall I render to the LORD for all His benefits to me? I will lift up 

the cup of salvation and call on the name of the LORD, I will pay my vows to

the LORD in the presence of all His people." (Psalm 116:12-14)

"Praise the LORD, all nations! Extol Him, all peoples! For great is His

steadfast love toward us, and the faithfulness of the LORD endures forever.

Praise the LORD!" (Psalm 117)

The Gospel assigns those who preside over Churches the command to teach the Gospel [Matthew 28:19], to forgive sins [John 20:23], to administer the Sacraments, and also to exercise jurisdiction (i.e., the command to excommunicate those whose crimes are known and to absolve those who repent).

(Tr 60)
