By the
end of the seventeenth century, many Lutheran churches celebrated a festival
commemorating Martin Luther’s posting of the Ninety-Five Theses, a summary of
abuses in the Roman Catholic Church in the year 1517. At the heart of the
reform movement was the gospel, the good news of God that it is by grace
through faith that we are justified and set free.
On this Reformation Day, let
us celebrate the witness of Martin Luther, and the continuing work to make the
gospel be heard clearly by all Christians.
