Just before John Hus was burned at the stake for heresy on July 6, 1517 he said: "You will cook this goose today [the name "Hus" means "goose"], but a hundred years from now God will raise up a swan, whose song you will not stop." One hundred and two years later Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenburg. Luther was known in his own time as "the Saxon [i.e. German] Hus". But this was not the beginning of the Reformation. The 95 theses addressed the ABUSES of indulgences, but did not condemn the USE of them. Luther's peace with God through the gospel of free and sovereign grace would not come until two years later, in 1519. The real beginning of the Reformation took place on April 18, 1521 when Martin Luther took his famous stand on salvation by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone to God's glory alone at the Diet of Worms. Join us for this look at a great hero of the faith, Martin Luther.
