Martin Luther: The Word Did It All

Last night, in our study of Hebrews 4, I used this quote from Martin Luther, reflecting on the fuel behind the reformation:

I simply taught, preached, wrote God's Word: otherwise, I did nothing. And when, while I slept, or drank Wittenberg beer with my Philip and my Amsdorf, the Word so greatly weakened the papacy that never a Prince or Emperor inflicted such damage upon it, I did nothing. The Word did it all.
