On this 502nd Reformation Day, we commemorate the sovereign act of God in the use of a monk with a mallet to burst open the doors for the common man's access to and understanding of the Bible. Great doctrines weren't birthed out of the Reformation but were pointed to and lived in light of.
Why should we pay close attention to the Reformation? Many reasons, but one line in a familiar hymn sums it up. "Prone to wander, Lord I feel it. Prone to leave the God I love." Scripture alone! Grace alone! Faith alone! Christ alone! To the Glory of God alone! We need to be reminded or taught for the first time what the Gospel is all about. Martin Luther was a prominent character in the Reformation, but he wasn't the hero.
Jesus Christ our Lord is king!
Soli Deo Gloria!
Rev. ZW
