Sermon for the Festival of the Reformation

What does the freedom and slavery have to do with Reformation? Well, everything. What Luther did was to bring the truth that sets you free back to the center of the church’s life. That truth being to abide in the word of Christ, and that word is not just about anything, not just about a set of morals or rules, but about Christ himself. For as Jesus says, I am the way, the truth, and the life. Christ’s word is the truth which is about Christ, the truth. Outside of Christ, there is no true freedom, only slavery.
