Remembering the gospel

Martin Luther once wrote that he taught the gospel "again and again, because I greatly fear that after we have laid our head to rest, it will soon be forgotten and will again disappear," That's my great fear as well-- that after hearing about the cross, we'll lay down our heads to rest and quietly forget it, instead of dwelling upon it and deriving the continual strength and assurance we need. We have a constant tendency to stop remembering the cross, and to start depending on legalism and self-effort.
