Just look to Jesus in the midst of the fight! Though the battle grows fiercer, help is at hand. Though the enemy be mighty and your strength but small; just look to Jesus, his victory is yours too!

Carl Eichhorn

Carl Eichhorn war ein deutscher lutherischer Pfarrer des 19. Jahrhunderts, der nach seinem Bruch mit der unierten badischen Landeskirche Gemeinden in Baden und Waldeck leitete. Er stand für eine strikte Ausrichtung am lutherischen Bekenntnis und nahm wegen seiner freikirchlichen Amtsführung staatliche Bedrängung und Verhaftungen in Kauf. Heutigen Bibellesern begegnet er durch seelsorgerliche Schriften und Predigten, die in der Praxis oft mit den Andachtstexten seines gleichnamigen Sohnes verwechselt werden.
