Martin Luther's Temptation Come to Roost
Today, on the day of Tyndale's martyrdom, I went to the Martin Luther monument in the city of Worms in Germany. Most figures had a Bible in hand. How blessed we are to have God's Word in our own language! Thank God for the men and women who brought God's Word to us, and for those who continue to translate and carry it to the ends of the Earth!
I’ll admit, though, that I was rather amused by the statue of Luther. There were pigeons all over, but especially on the highest point – the top of Luther’s head! This brought to mind one of Luther’s famous sayings about Temptation:
“You cannot keep birds from flying over your head, but you can keep them from building a nest in your hair.”
Hmmm.
