The king shall joy in thy strength, O LORD; and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice!
Psalm 21:1
"He tried through works to obtain His favor, but was not satisfied until a gleam of light from heaven drove the darkness from his mind and led him to trust, not in works, but in the merits of the blood of Christ.
He could then come to God for himself,
---not through popes or confessors,
---but through Jesus Christ alone.
Oh, how precious to Luther was this new and glorious light which
had dawned upon his dark understanding and driven away his superstition!
He prized it higher than the richest earthly treasure.
The Word of God was new.
Everything was changed.
The book he had dreaded because he could not see beauty in it, was now life, eternal life, to him."
