CQOD: 10/30/06 -- Luther: the priesthood

Christian Quotation of the Day

October 30, 2006

Commemoration of Martin Luther, Teacher, Reformer, 1546

Meditation:
    Grace and peace... from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father--to him be glory and power for ever and ever!
    -- Revelation 1:4-6 (ESV)

---

Quotation:
    Let every man recognize what he is, and be certain that we are all equally priests, that is, we have the same power in the word and in any sacrament whatever.
    ... Martin Luther (1483-1546), Prelude to the Babylonian Captivity of the Church, 7.16 [1520]

---

Quiet time reflection:
    Lord, make me a channel for Your grace to those in need.
