In February, two days before he died, Martin Luther preached his last sermon. In the sermon, Luther expressed his great fear for what was happening in Germany. He said that the light of the gospel had been recovered and was preached every Sunday morning in the churches and night after night in special services, yet the people continued to flock to churches that had relics. He questioned why they were doing this and proposed that they were looking for power in their Christian life. But, Luther said, that is not where God has put power. The power is in the gospel.
