The Lord calls even those who do not seek Him or ask for Him. He spreads out His hands and invites them to dwell in peace upon His holy mountain. We who are enslaved by the assaults of the devil are set free by the Word of Christ. We are brought into the Lord’s house, fully clothed in Christ; He has fulfilled the Law on our behalf, redeemed us from its every accusation, justified us by His grace through faith in His Gospel and declared each of us “no longer a slave, but God’s child.”
