Poster (12" × 36"): The Office of the Ministry: Stewards of the Mysteries of God

$ 42.00

Description

The Office of the Ministry: Stewards of the Mysteries of God is the sixth poster in the Ad Crucem doctrine series. It maps the Lutheran doctrine of the office of the ministry, showing that Christ, who made satisfaction for the sins of the world, instituted the office of preaching to give out that forgiveness through the Gospel, Holy Absolution and the Sacraments. Read it from top to bottom: arrows run from a doctrine to the doctrines that rest on it. Remove a box and everything below it loses its ground.

“As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” John 20:21

What the poster maps

What Christ instituted: the sending of the apostles, the Keys, shepherds for the flock, the call through means, men able to teach, and the office given to men.
The keystone of the series: the vicarious satisfaction, Christ’s active and passive obedience, offered to God and purchased with blood.
The office and its authority: instituted by God, and exercised in the stead of Christ.
The call and the work: rightly called, Word and Sacraments, absolution as the Keys exercised, and excommunication at the altar.
What rests on it: certainty for consciences, and shepherds who give account.
The diagnosis, where the chain breaks: six errors, from the sermon put in place of the satisfaction and the office as delegated rights to the Keys put to a vote, women in the pastoral office and the pastor as manager, each shown cutting the chain at the link it removes.

Every box carries its Scripture references and key citations from Chemnitz’s Ministry, Word, and Sacraments, Scaer and the Lutheran Confessions. A study aid for pastors’ studies, classrooms, Bible classes and confirmation rooms.
