On this day in 1517, All Hallow’s Eve, Martin Luther nailed his 95 Thesis to the Castle Church door in Whittenburg, Germany. The rest … is history.
“A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.”
“And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.” Martin Luther 1529
This sounds a lot like today, huh? Didn’t King Solomon say:
“There’s nothing new under the sun”? (Ecclesiastes 1:9)
