“Anxiety becomes sin when faith is absent”

That made it click. I was trying to understand what is the difference for two people, one a believer and the other not under the same suffering.

Thanks much for the help and the recommendations.

However, we would both agree that Jesus was never a theologian of glory. However, in the Garden of Gethsemane, He definitely was cut to the heart until an angel came to minister to Him. Yet He was not anxious in the sense of not trusting in His Father that all things were still in His control. Anxiety becomes sin when faith is absent. <br/><br/>In my opinion, anything written by Herman Sasse or Chemnitz on the Lord's Supper would be well worth your time in reading.

Or am I confusing “anxiety” of a thing with the “suffering” under a thing?<br/><br/>Thanks,<br/><br/>Larry<br/>KY<br/><br/><br/>PS: Unrelated but another question. What's the best book/study/treatise for grasping the Lutheran understanding of "in/with/under" in the Lord's Supper. Sometimes I think I'm just about able to understand it, like its on the "tip of my tongue", so to speak, but then I loose it.
