We watched the movie Luther last night in our combined cell group session. I expected the movie to be boring, but though there are parts that I didn’t catch and understand, I actually enjoyed the movie.
Not only did we see how God had used him in the history of the Christian faith and the church, we can also learn many things from the life of this spiritual giant.
Luther truly understood and genuinely struggled with what he read, heard and experienced in his spiritual walk, and more importantly, he responded to it. It sure wasn’t easy to break away from the tradition, to stand up against everyone else and the higher authorities, to influence others, for something you believe to be the Truth, accidentally causing so many deaths in the process. I can’t imagine the extent of his spirit and courage against all the doubts and guilt.
And the Bibles that we have in hand, they did not come easy.
It was also said that the reformation movement was one with a sole purpose to return to the Bible.
Ecclesia Reformata, Semper Reformanda

So now, how can we be used by God in His story?
