Description
If there is anything that should surprise us about Jesus and his power, it would be that he -- a true human -- rose from the dead. But he predicted even that. So, it shouldn't surprise us that his power is still at work, even after his resurrection, just as he predicted.

Reformation Sunday is NOT about us boasting that we're Lutherans. It's not about elevating Martin Luther to the status of Jesus Christ (or even the prophets and apostles, for that matter).
