Episode 27.2: The Sign and the Thing Signified

Can you remind our listeners what a “sign” and “seal” are? What is meant by the “thing signified”? How is this sacramental union representative and instrumental? What are the grounds for the union? Can you give examples of the way each is attribute to the other? What happens if we conflate the sign and the thing signified? What happens when we divorce the sign and the thing signified? Tune in as Nathan, Shawn, Joel, and Kyle discuss WCF 27.2:

There is in every sacrament a spiritual relation or sacramental union, between the sign and the thing signified; whence it comes to pass that the names and the effects of the one are attributed to the other.
