Trinty 5 2025. From Terror to Grace: Encountering the Hidden God and the Revealed Christ

In this powerful sermon titled "From Terror to Grace, the Hidden God and the Revealed Christ," we explore the awe-inspiring journey from fear to faith. The sermon is divided into three parts, beginning with the "hidden" God of creation, whose might and wrath can terrify the sinner. Elijah's encounter with God's power serves as a vivid illustration of this unseen force.

However, we are not left in fear. The message of the Revealed God offers hope through Christ's sacrifice on the cross, where wrath and mercy meet. Jesus' suffering is the gateway to our redemption, assuring us of God's loving presence.

The final part of the sermon calls us to embrace our Christian vocation, catching men alive with the gentle whisper of the Gospel. Empowered by the word of Christ, we are sent into the world to bring life and salvation, transforming our daily duties into acts of divine service.
