Martin Luther

Martin Luther, the Augustinian monk who launched the Protestant Reformation, spoke about the importance of Easter — as well as Good Friday — during a sermon he preached in 1530.

“But whoever has no Good Friday and Easter Day has no good day in the year, that is, whoever does not believe that Jesus suffered and rose for him is without hope,” Luther stated.

“On Good Friday I still see my sin before my eyes, but on Easter Day a new man has been born. His hand has been made new and sin is seen no more. All this Thou hast given to me freely, and hast said that Thou hast overcome my devil, my sin, and my death.”
