First I shake the whole Apple tree, that the ripest might fall. Then I climb the tree and shake each limb, and then each branch and then each twig, and then I look under each leaf.
Martin Luther
Image
The quest for glory can never be satisfied, it must be extinguished.
Martin Luther

Jesus Christ never died for our good works. They were not worth dying for. But he gave himself for our sins, according to the Scriptures.
Martin Luther
Image
The devil flees before the sound of music almost as much as before the Word of God.
Martin Luther

When we hear that Christ was made a curse for us, let us believe it with joy and assurance. By faith Christ changes places with us. He gets our sins, we get His holiness.
