21
Spot 21 in Augsburg, Germany, presents Article Twenty-One of the Augsburg Confession through its teaching on saints. That teaching belongs to the Lutheran doctrine recorded here.
Article Twenty-One says Christians should remember saints as examples of grace, faith, and good works. Saints appear here as examples for Christian life. Yet the article rejects calling on saints for help or intercession, because Jesus Christ remains the sole mediator. Jesus Christ receives the prayers described in this article.
References to First Timothy and Romans support its account of Christ as savior, high priest, and intercessor before God. The text also presents King David as a model for a ruler. That example links faith with protecting people through a public calling. The article places these ideas within the wider Augsburg Confession, associated with Lutheran teaching and Christian instruction. The confession connects doctrine with comfort for consciences. Spot 21 records a focused Reformation-era statement about remembrance, prayer, and Christian example.
