"Luther’s lecture, commenting on v. 36, gives a discussion, with reference to 1 Cor. 10:4, of the signs through which God signals His voice. “Here it is necessary to distinguish external works, signs, and times from our signs, works, and times. Nevertheless, through the same faith the same God, the same Spirit, lead; the cross is for us just as it is for them. Therefore they are for the sake of an example, that we may know that we, too, ought to believe our signs as they believed theirs. … Just as they exercised their faith in their external sign, so we, too, in our signs. In the stead of their exodus from Egypt we have one sign, which is Jesus Christ, who did not come down as then in a cloud and column but has spoken in the Son wrapped in the flesh.”
