The devil would have Christ prove Himself to be God, by turning stones into bread; but the Holy Ghost shows His Godhead by turning stones into flesh (Eze. 36:26).

Thomas Watson
Thomas Watson war ein englischer puritanischer Geistlicher des 17. Jahrhunderts, der in London wirkte und nach dem Erlass der Uniformitätsakte von 1662 als Nonkonformist predigte. Er steht für eine praxisorientierte reformierte Theologie, die er in bildhafter Sprache und pastoralen Schriften zu Themen wie Buße und Katechismuslehre entfaltete. Heutigen Bibellesern bietet sein Werk pointierte, alltagsnahe Auslegungen zur christlichen Lebensführung und zum Trost in Anfechtungen.
