12. oldal MAGYAR EGYHÁZ REFORMATION REFORMATION DAY Reformation Day is an important liturgical fest­ival that is celebrated by many Protestant denominati­ons. It commemorates Dr. Martin Luther's posting of his Ninety-five Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517. This act triggered the movement in world history known as the Reformation. While the hist­orical date for the observ­ance of Reformation is Octo­ber 31st, most churches celebrate it on the last Sunday in October. The Reformation While it had profound and lasting impacts on the political, economic, social, literary, and artistic aspects of modern society, the Reformation was at its heart a religious move­ment. The Reformation was the great rediscovery of the good news of salvation by grace through faith for Christ's sake. The church in need of reform For centuries, the Roman Catholic Church had been plagued by false doctrines, superstition, ignorance, and corrup­tion. Since most ordinary Christians were illiterate and had little knowledge of the Bible, they relied on their clergy for religious instruction and guidance. Tragically however, monks, priests, bishops, and even the popes in Rome taught unbiblical doctrines like purgatory and salvation through good works. Spiritually earn-est people tried to justify themselves by charitable works, pilgrim-ages, and all kinds of religious performances and devotions, but they were left wondering if they had done enough to escape God's anger and punishment. The truth of the Gospel - the good news that God is loving and merciful, that He offers each and every one of us forgiveness and salvation not because of what we do, but because of what Christ has already done for us - as largely forgotten by both clergy and laity. The Holy Spirit used an Augustinian monk and university professor named Martin Luther to restore the gospel to its rightful place as the cornerstone doctrine of Christianity. Martin Luther and his role in the Reformation Martin Luther (pictured above) was born in 1483 in the town of Eisleben in the area of Germany called Thuringia. His parents brought him up in the strict religious environment of the Roman Catholic Church. They provided for his education by enrolling him in the Latin schools of Thuringia. The young Luther was a promising student, so his father sent him to the University of Erfurt in 1501 to study law. He did very well at his studies and graduated with a Master of Arts degree in 1505. But Luther was a troubled and morbidly unhappy man. Like many others of his time, Luther was distressed by his sins and lived in terrible and constant fear of God's angry judgment. After being caught in a ferocious thunderstorm that seemed to threaten his very life, Luther abando-ned his plans to practice law and entered an Augustinian monas-tery. He hoped that the rigorous life of a monk would allow him opportunities to do enough good works to please God and escape eternal punishment. Luther threw himself into monastic life and was ordained in 1507. He meticulously followed all the strict rules of his abbey, impressing his fellow monks with his seriousness and outward piety. Johann von Staupitz, the vicar-general of the Augustinian order, took notice of Luther's potential for leadership and assigned him important administrative duties, including a mission to Rome. But although Luther did everything a devout and conscientious monk should do, he did not find the peace of mind he was seeking. In 1508, Father Staupitz sent Luther to Wittenberg, a town in the part of Germany called Saxony, to pursue a doctoral degree and to teach at the newly established university there. Luther also became assistant pastor at the Castle Church, a post he held for the rest of his life. In the course of his preaching and studying (especially his careful reading of Paul's Epistle to the Romans), the Holy Spirit revealed to Luther the love of God in Jesus Christ. In what is often called his "Tower Experience," Luther came to understand the true nature of the Gospel, namely that God has already accomplished our salvation by the life, death, and resurrection of His Son, and that this salvation is ours through A,MORE I3T STVDIO ELVCID ANDAE tiimsr isim: iubicrfpri ílifpucabunF V uittcnberg^ Prarftdcte P.
