Second, Jesus also calls us to confess Him and bear with the divisions that result in the world, so that His genuine teaching may be recognized. To do this means Christians cannot leave matters of doctrine up to their pastors. We all must listen with a discerning ear, and confess accordingly. “Let the prophets with dreams tell their dreams”; we must cling to those who have the Lord’s Word and speak it faithfully. For this reason, the greatest and simplest word in the Church is not assigned to the pastor, but to the congregation: “Amen.” “Amen” is the word of faith which agrees and confesses, “Yes! This is most certainly true!”
