Learning from Luther

At the prodding of a couple of my friends who are hungry to learn more about Jesus and who are distinctly Lutheran in their self-understanding, I decided to say "yes" to an experiment of online study. I will choose a sermon of Martin Luther, scan the text into a jpeg file and post it here with some questions in the margins. It won't be fancy, that's for sure. But perhaps it will spark some conversation about the discipleship journey we are all on. The first one comes from a sermon of Luther's in 1518 on John 9- The Man Born Blind. Think of the context of this sermon as coming on the heels of that church changing event, the posting of the 95 theses by Luther on the Castle Church Door in Wittenberg, Germany, October 31, 1517. Read on and post some reflections for all of us to chew on. Pass on the link to your friends who might be interested. It will be once a week so we all have time to get to it! This is the first page of it which can be found in LW Volume 51. Email me if you want to full text. . . this is just a teaser.

Blessings!
