Martin Luther
Recently I rented the movie Luther. It starred Joseph Fiennes. Someone recommended it to me a couple of years ago and I just got around to seeing it. I grew up believing that there was always a group who worshipped just like we do - the true church - that came down from AD 33. My grandmother taught me this and it was reinforced by many people I knew. Therefore, anyone who disagreed with that wasn't really a Christian, and I really didn't need to know about people who weren't part of the true church. I am not knocking my heritage, I am grateful for my grandparents who taught me about Jesus. What I am trying to say is that is very refreshing and freeing to believe that God worked in people's lives through the ages. I cried at the end of the movie thinking about the bravery of Martin Luther who lived in a time when questioning of "the church" could mean death. If you have never seen this movie I highly recommend it.
