Tomorrow we Lutherans—and perhaps other
denominations—celebrate
Reformation Sunday. Here is some food for thought from
our hero, Martin Luther: On humour and joy: “If I am not allowed to laugh in
heaven I don't want to go there.”
On
justification by grace through faith: “Faith is
a living, bold trust in God's grace, so certain of God's favor that it would
risk death a thousand times trusting in it.”
Perhaps it was
Luther’s steadfast conviction regarding the latter quote that he could affirm
the former one.
