Today, 505 years after Márton Luther's reforming ideas were compiled into 95 propositions and nailed to the door of the castle church in Wittenberg, we can only look back with admiration and a spirit that glorifies God, with speech, at the light that flared up then and will not flare up until the end of history. To the heavenly light with which our God visited the world at that time (Luke 1:78) in order to kindle light in the darkness as a working model for all times - lux lucet in tenebris.
Thus, in order to illuminate just enough areas in front of our hesitant steps, our hearts and our thinking in today's gorges of destiny and economic and political abysses, so that we can take a brave and safe step forward. Indeed, we are permanent living targets on the paths of space-time or on the life-threateningly wide highway.
Today, we give thanks for the miracle of sola gratia, grace sufficient to take the next step, which our God has gifted to the world and to today's generations in Jesus Christ, our one and only Savior,
those who are solus Christus, looking to Him alone, and sola fide, through faith alone, seek (can) the next step between existential and world tensions, meaning permanence.
Today, when human speech so often falls into the dust or mud due to the many false and wrong, deceptive and sophisticated twists and lies, temper tantrums, thought-infecting half-truths, we would actually celebrate truly and authentically, deeply and meaningfully, if we remained silent. Very deeply, at least in listening honestly. Not defiantly, not offended, not as a tactic. With spiritual primal thirst.
Today we just want to celebrate, to listen to the precious words of our God.
So that we can talk to each other again, to speak tactfully to God and to each other, and to communicate at least as much as the latest, impressed and admired robots that are already capable of actual, two-way conversation. But man, not the robot, has been man's first-class, created, real conversational partner for millions of years. In order for it to remain so, may God continue to help us during and after this Reformation holiday that gives birth to language and creates a relationship with God with the Bible in our native language.
"Lord, together with my brothers worldwide, I also bring my heart to You!" (ref. song)
