• [Christ's] mission and work it is to help against sin and death, to justify and bring life. He has placed his help in baptism and the Sacrament [i.e., communion/Eucharist/Lord's supper], and incorporated it in the Word and preaching.

But we must not trust what our eyes see.

  Martin Luther

  Wine, Eye, Simple
