Johann Gerhard (1582 – 1637), o principal dos teólogos do período de ouro
da Ortodoxia Luterana (séc. XVII)
“The Church is that ship that carries Christ and
His disciples (Matthew 8:23), and transports us at long last to the port of
eternal blessedness. The Church navigates her established course through the
sea of this age with the rudder of faith, having God as her pilot, angels for
oarsmen, and the company of all the saints for her passengers. The mast in her
middle is the cross of salvation, on which is suspended the sail of the
evangelical faith, by which she is lead by the breath of the Holy Spirit to the
security of eternal rest.”
(Cristo na tempestade no mar da Galileia, Rembrandt)
