Gerhard famous quotes

Last updated: Sep 5, 2024

We are justified freely, for Christâ€™s sake, by faith, without the exertion of our own strength, gaining of merit, or doing of works.Â To the age-old question, â€˜What shall I do to be saved?â€™ the confessional answer is shocking: â€˜Nothing!Â Just be still; shut up and listen for once in your life to what God the Almighty, creator and redeemer, is saying to his world and to you in the death and resurrection of his Son!Â Listen and believe!â€™
-- Gerhard

A theologian of the cross says what a thing is. In modern parlance: a theologian of the cross calls a spade a spade. One who â€˜looks on all things through suffering and the crossâ€™ is constrained to speak the truthâ€¦it will see precisely that the cross and the resurrection itself is the only answer to that problem, not erasure or neglect.

What I'm attempting in each picture is nothing other than this...to bring together in a living and viable way, the most different and the most contradictory elements in the greatest possible freedom.

I blur things to make everything equally important and equally unimportant. I blur things so that they do not look artistic or craftsmanlike but technological, smooth and perfect. I blur things to make all the parts a closer fit. Perhaps I also blur out the excess of unimportant information.

We are in this life as it were in another man's house.... In heaven is our home, in the world is our Inn: do not so entertain thyself in the Inn of this world for a day as to have thy mind withdrawn from longing after thy heavenly home.
-- Gerhard
