Luther: in the midst of your enemies
Saturday, October 30, 2010
Commemoration of Martin Luther, Teacher, Reformer, 1546
Meditation:
The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion;
you will rule in the midst of your enemies.
—Psalm 110:2 (NIV)
Quotation:
The Kingdom is to be in the midst of your enemies. And he who will not suffer this does not want to be of the Kingdom of Christ; he wants to be among friends, to sit among roses and lilies, not with the bad people but the devout people. O you blasphemers and betrayers of Christ! If Christ had done what you are doing, who would ever have been spared?
... Martin Luther (1483-1546), paraphrase from "Sermon on Psalm 110" [1518], WA, 1:696, quoted in Life Together [1954], Dietrich Bonhoeffer & tr. Daniel W. Bloesch & James H. Burtness, Fortress Press, 2004, p. 27 (see the book)

Lord, remove our fears, and lead us out into the world.CQOD Blog email RSS

If only Luther would have listened to his own advice , than his pride would not have lead him to birth the unbiblical "Sola Scriptura", which in turn gave birth to "moral relativism".
