"The language of the Bible should be heard like a mother talking to her children." ~Martin Luther
Reformation day is coming up, Oct 31. I found this painting while looking for this quote. It's not the original, and I don't know the name of the artist of eithr this one or the one it's based on, but it's the most kind, gentle, compassionate looking portrait of Luther that I've seen. He has an enormous passion and sense of humor that comes through in his writing, but most people see him as a stern, crabby German. I hope that this painting and this quote show that his goals were that all could come to know, understand, and receive God's beautiful Grace, Faith, Hope, Love, Mercy, and Peace.
Ephesians 2:8-10
