We’ll be taking this week & next to look a little more closely at the two signs & seals of the Covenant which our God has made with us. There are two common mistakes when it comes to these signs. On one hand, Christians have come to attribute to them a sort of superstitious magical potency, while other Christians have robbed them of their potency making them little more than spiritual sticky notes. Our aim is to accompany the sacraments with the Word preached. After all, that is what the church is: those who have heard and believed His Word preached, and are marked out by these signs as His people.
