But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it— the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe… (Romans 3:21–22, ESV)
King Solomon once said that there is nothing new under the sun. But Solomon did not have the last word. God has the last word. God had something on the horizon that would REFORM everything. Jesus brought a new way and a new hope. He brought life over death.
500 years ago, Martin Luther nailed the 95 Theses on the Wittenberg Church doors. He did not write anything new that was not already in the Scripture. But what he said in that document would REFORM the world. It brought us back to God’s original Reformation – the resurrection.
This week we celebrate the Reformation and God’s righteousness revealed through Jesus. It’s new hope, new life, and a new beginning! It’s victory over death.
