The Word and the Sacrament
Acts 8:36-39
And as they went on their way, they came to a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water…


There are two means of grace which mutually complete each other, and the one must not be valued over the other, or despised in comparison with the other. When the sacrament is despised, the body of the Church falls to pieces: when the Word is set aside its spirit dies.

(K. Gerok.)
