Let’s pray…
Holy God,
nearly 500 years ago, one man,
Martin Luther,
started a reformation that would change the Church
and the world forever.
But…
we are not here to worship this man
but rather worship You through another man,
Your Son and our Savior,
Jesus Christ.
For it is through Jesus’ death and resurrection
that we are made righteous in Your eyes.
It is through the Holy Spirit
that we come to know this truth.
It is through Your love
that we even have hope in the first place.
So I ask that Your Spirit may move
in,
through and
around us today
as we hear this Word of Truth from Your Holy Word.
May Your Word create, sustain or strengthen faith
and may it not return to You empty.
And through this Word of Truth,
may we be modern day
reformers
as we lead people to Your Son,
Jesus Christ.
All honor
and glory
and worship
and praise
be unto You, holy God, through Christ Jesus our Lord,
Amen.

When you think about the HUGE impact Martin Luther made, in a time period controlled by a giant organization, is just lets you know that God truly understand who is the best person for the job. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during that time.
