If you had been the only one....


It is often said that if there had been only one sinner in the world, Jesus still would have died for that person.  Martin Luther agrees with that statement.

I discovered in our church library a book about world leaders and Luther is included in the series.  On page 54 I found this Luther quote:

He who wants to be saved should be so minded as if there were no human being but he alone, and that the consolation and promise of God through all the Scriptures concerned him only.

Now that's a good thought to take into the weekend, isn't it? God be with you!
