This article is part of a series about C.F.W. Walther which was published in Lehre und Wehre. It's chief focus is on Walther's steady teaching of the doctrine of justification. In a sense, the article is more about the glorious doctrine of justification by faith through Christ than it is about Walther.

Major war is always a traumatic event. It brings uncertainty and doubt to our lives. Yet, Christians have a special blessing in knowing that God's will prevails through the mess that mankind makes. August Pieper points out a Christian outlook during the time of war in "The European War in the Light of God's Word." This translation is published in two parts.

Albert Siegler meditates on Paul's words in Romans 8:18: “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.” A part of the glory which will be revealed in Christians is that they will have the image of God after the resurrection. But the future glory doesn’t affect just their bodies, but also the dwelling in which they will live in eternity. The righteous will enter into eternal life, where they will experience the fullness of joy in God's presence.

Albert Siegler meditates on Jesus' words in John 10:7: “I tell you the truth, I am the gate for the sheep.” By “sheep” are meant only those who are converted to Jesus the Good Shepherd. The door is the entrance of a dwelling. Jesus is the door to his kingdom of grace here on earth and therefore also the door to the kingdom of glory in heaven.

Professor August Pieper addresses the students at the beginning of a new school year to impress on them the folly of relying on worldly knowledge, which is full of human error. Instead, he encourages them to found their hopes on Christ, who has accomplished their salvation. To know him as Lord and Savior – that is true knowledge.
