John Derme

“He shall trample your head underfoot.” In Martin Luther's commentary on the first gospel promise, he beautifully captures Satan's sorry condition under God's curse and his vain efforts to ruin God's plan. More than that, Luther grasps the full significance of the victory of Christ promised here, which gives us the sure hope of life in a fallen world.

In this sermon on John 3:16-21, Dr. Hönecke’s outlines the work of the so-called “shy” person of the Trinity from a discourse in which Jesus does not mention the Holy Spirit by name. Hönecke illustrates well how the Holy Spirit is one God with the Father and the Son and, for example, was involved in creation, but his person specifically carries out a greater miracle toward his people.
