G.H. Gerberding, Lutheran synod president, on Acts 16. The jailer had once undertaken torturous measures not necessary to securing a prisoner; he hears gospel; he washes the wounds he had made.

How can you show the fruits of the gospel in how you treat people and consider wounds you may have given them?
