Reformation 2022
Today is the 505th Anniversary of Reformation. Martin Luther, ninety-five theses, Wittenberg, church door… The low hanging fruit of what to write about today, the Reformation or Tree House of Terror XXXIII…
If you are interested in the deep dive here are a couple of links: Wikipedia, a list of the theses, Luther, LCMS resources.
How shall I summarize 505 years of the Reformation, let alone all ninety-five theses, in just a few short paragraphs?
There are two theses that you may reflect on today:
1 When our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, “Repent” (Matthew 4:17), he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.
62 The true treasure of the Church is the most Holy Gospel of the glory and grace of God.
The life of repentance and the treasure of the Gospel, that is arguably the heart of the Reformation.
In fine Lutheran tradition, “What does this mean?” 95 And thus be confident of entering into Heaven through many tribulations rather than through the false security of peace (Acts 14:22).
I’ll wait to write about Tree House of Terror DV.
