Apology of the Augsburg Confession: Article 24. The Mass, Part 4

To participate in the Mass is to receive the gifts of Christ and give a sacrifice of praise for all the blessings He gives. The primary mover in a worship service is not a pastor or the people, but Christ Himself, pouring out forgiveness, life, and salvation on our behalf. This Mass is for sinners, that in faith they are restored and renewed in Christ— not for other people, but for YOU! Rev. Dr. Jason Lane, Associate Professor of Historical Theology, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis, MO, joins Rev. Brady Finnern as we conclude our study of the Mass.
