John Winthrop (born January 22 [January 12, Old Style], 1588, Edwardstone, Suffolk, England—died March 26, 1649, Boston, Massachusetts Bay Colony [U.S.]) was an English lawyer best known as the Puritan leader of the first large wave of the Great Migration of Puritans from England to North America in 1630 CE and governor of the Massachusetts Bay Colony (founded in 1628 CE) which they settled and expanded upon, and the founder of the city of Boston. Winthrop is also known for the conflicts between his government and religious dissenters such as Roger Williams (l. 1603-1683 CE), Anne Hutchinson (l. 1591-1643 CE), and Thomas Hooker (l. 1586-1647 CE), who were expelled by the colony and settled the regions now known as Rhode Island and Connecticut.

Martin Luther's appearance before the Diet of Worms, Germany, 1521.
"On April 17, 1521, Luther went before the Diet. In response to questioning, he admitted that the books displayed before the court were his, but, when asked to repudiate them, he requested time to consider the question. The next day, again before the assembled Diet, Luther refused to repudiate his works unless convinced of error by Scripture or by reason. Otherwise, he stated, his conscience was bound by the Word of God. According to tradition, he said, “Here I stand; I can do no other.” Disorder broke out at the conclusion of Luther’s refusal to recant, and the emperor dismissed the Diet for the day."

Every Sunday part of the Catechism is posted. This week we have Lord's day 18 from the Heidelberg catechism.
Lord’s Day 18
46.Q. What do you mean by saying “He ascended into heaven”?
A. That Christ, while His disciples watched, was lifted up from the earth into heaven and will be there for our good until He comes again to judge the living and the dead.
Luke 24:50,51; Acts 1:9-11; Romans 8:34; Ephesians 4:8-10; Hebrews 7:23-25; Hebrews 9:24.
47.Q. But isn’t Christ with us until the end of the world as He promised us?
A. Christ is true man and true God. In His human nature Christ is not now on earth; but in His divinity, majesty, grace, and Spirit He is not absent from us for a moment.
Matthew 28:18-20; John 14:16-19; Acts 1:9-11; Acts 3:19-21.
48.Q. If His humanity is not present wherever His divinity is, then aren’t the two natures of Christ separated from each other?
A. Certainly not. Since divinity is not limited and is present everywhere, it is evident that Christ’s divinity is surely beyond the bounds of the humanity He has taken on, but at the same time His divinity is in and remains personally united to His humanity.
Isaiah 66:1; Jeremiah 23:23,24; John 1:14; John 3:13; Acts 7:48,49; Colossians 2:9.

The Third Part: Of Thankfulness
Lord’s Day 32
Q86. Since then we are delivered from our misery merely of grace, through Christ, without any merit of ours, why must we still do good works?
A. Because Christ, having redeemed and delivered us by his blood, also renews us by his Holy Spirit after his own image; that so we may testify by the whole of our conduct our gratitude to God for his blessings, and that he may be praised by us; also, that every one may be assured in himself of his faith by the fruits thereof; and that by our godly conversation others may be gained to Christ.
Q87. Cannot they then be saved who, continuing in their wicked and ungrateful lives, are not converted to God?
A. By no means; for no unchaste person, idolater, adulterer, thief, covetous man, drunkard, slanderer, robber, or any such like, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Lord’s Day 33
Q88. Of how many parts does the true conversion of man consist?
A. Of two parts: of the mortification of the old, and the quickening of the new man.
Q89. What is the mortification of the old man?
A. It is a sincere sorrow of heart that we have provoked God by our sins, and more and more to hate and flee from them.
Q90. What is the quickening of the new man?
A. It is a sincere joy of heart in God through Christ, and with love and delight to live according to the will of God in all good works.
Q91. But what are good works?
A. Only those which proceed from a true faith, are performed according to the law of God, and to his glory; and not such as are founded on our imaginations or the institutions of men.

Tekst:
Mijn God, mijn God, waarom verlaat Gij mij,
En redt mij niet, terwijl ik zwoeg en strij',
En brullend klaag in d' angsten die ik lij',
Dus fel geslagen?
't Zij ik, mijn God, bij dag moog' bitter klagen,
Gij antwoordt niet; 't Zij ik des nachts moog' kermen.
Ik heb geen rust, ook vind ik geen ontfermen
In mijn verdriet.
Mijn beend'ren kan ik tellen, één voor één.
Hun boos gezicht beschouwt dit wel tevreên.
Z' ontzien zich niet, om met mijn tegenheên
Hun geest te strelen,
En onder zich mijn kleed'ren te verdelen;
Verhard in't kwaad,
Kan hun geen spel verdrieten;
Zij werpen 't lot, wat ieder zal genieten
Van mijn gewaad.
Eerlang gedenkt hieraan het wereldrond;
Haast wendt het zich tot God met hart en mond;
En, waar men ooit de wildste volken vond,
Zal God ontvangen
Aanbidding, eer en dankb're lofgezangen.
Want Hij regeert,
En zal Zijn almacht tonen;
Hij heerst, zover de blindste heid'nen wonen,
Tot Hem bekeerd.

Samuel Rutherford (also Rutherfurd or Rutherfoord; c. 1600 – 29 March 1661) was a Scottish Presbyterian pastor and theologian and one of the Scottish Commissioners to the Westminster Assembly. Author of Lex Rex (the Law is King) and his highly regarded Letters.

"The people marveled and praised the Lord that the wind and sea were subject to Him, signifying that the Gospel, God’s Word, spreads farther through persecution, becoming stronger and increasing faith. This is a paradoxical characteristic of the Gospel compared to worldly things, which typically decrease through misfortune and opposition and increase through prosperity and peace. Christ’s kingdom, however, grows through tribulations and declines in times of peace, ease, and luxury, as St. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:9: “My power is made perfect in weakness.” To this end, help us God! Amen."

Thomas Cranmer (born July 2, 1489, Aslacton, Nottinghamshire, England—died March 21, 1556, Oxford) was the first Protestant archbishop of Canterbury (1533–56), adviser to the English kings Henry VIII and Edward VI. As archbishop, he put the English Bible in parish churches, drew up the Book of Common Prayer, and composed a litany that remains in use today. Denounced by the Catholic queen Mary I for promoting Protestantism, he was convicted of heresy and burned at the stake.

Psalm 94 v 1,2,3
1 O LORD of vengeance, show Thy glory;
Judge of the earth, call all before Thee.
Rise up, reveal Thy justice, LORD,
And give the proud their just reward!
Thine is the vengeance, Thine the might;
Put Thou my enemies to flight.
2 How long yet shall the wicked flourish,
The godless all their evil nourish?
They bluster and they boast aloud;
Of all their misdeeds they are proud.
They crush Thy people in their rage,
And they afflict Thy heritage.
3 They slay the widow, and they curse me;
They kill the alien without mercy
And put to death the fatherless.
All those who trust Thee they oppress;
They say, “The LORD, He does not see;
The God of Jacob, where is He?”
