When I was a first year seminarian in the fall of 1978, Professor Scaer was preaching in chapel on the text of Matthew 13:44 and following. He preached so directly on how God’s love and the justification of the sinner are so connected that even a sinner such as I could be confident of salvation and of God’s love for me. I physically felt a great weight falling off my shoulders and that’s when I knew that I had to share this message with those who are troubled on account of their sins.
