The daily Luther
21st January
If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
1. John 1 (viii)
The Kingdom of Christ is a kingdom of sinners where there is not a single saint who will not have to make the following confession: ‘O Almighty God, I confess that I am a poor sinner and please do not count my old debts against me!' All of them will have to sing to the same tune: Our Father, forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us. (...) If you find any one who claims: ‘I am without sin', then he is an anti-Christ, not a true Christian, indeed he is more like the Devil straight from Hell.
The complete Luther - "A Meditation for Each Day of the Year" is available as a biligual (English and German) BREVIARY published by Wartburg Verlag Weimar. It can be purchased in English, world-wide from most internet book shops.
