Adolf Hitler And Martin Luther

Sunday, February 21, 2021

Martin Luther did great things in trying to make the Bible more accessible. He first appealed to the Jews but later became embittered against them. He wrote: "concerning the Jews and their lies - their synagogues should be set on fire. Whatever doesn't burn up should be covered over with dirt. And it should be done for the honor of the God of Christianity, in order that God may see we are Christians. Secondly their homes should be broken down and destroyed." Later these writings were used by Adolf Hitler. When the Nazi's launched their attack of Kristallnacht, destroying Jewish businesses, buildings, and synagogues, they said it was in honor of the anniversary of Martin Luther's birthday. The devil is always looking for a place, even with people who are used for great things. He'll look for any gap of bitterness, jealousy, unforgiveness, lust, or anything to get a foothold in your life. Close up the gaps. Give the devil no room. Give the Lord all the room, and you'll be used mightily for the kingdom of God.
