If you know this Shepherd, then you can protect yourself against the Devil and Death and you can say: “Unfortunately, I have not observed God’s commandments; but I can creep under the wings of a certain loving Hen, namely my Lord Jesus Christ, and I believe that He is my Shepherd, Bishop and Mediator before God, Who shields and protects me with His own innocence and Who covers me with His own justice. For wherever I have disobeyed, He has remained obedient and, moreover, where I have sinned, He has paid the price with His own blood.”
Schriften, 21. Band, S. 329
