Martin Luther wrote, “Faith is that foundation of the apostles and the prophets on which, as the apostle writes in Eph 2:20, we are built and the ‘foundation that has been laid,’ of which he speaks in 1 Cor 3:11. Thus Christ Himself says in Matt 16:18: ‘On this rock I will build My church,’ that is, on the firmness of faith” (AE 29:229). The Divine Service brings the worshiper into the gracious presence of God, who serves His people, strengthening their faith in ancient evidence of witnesses who endured trials and even death and who were sustained in faith in the blessed hope of life eternal with Christ.
