I know I am not nearly the first to make the connection between the black plague of Luther's day and our current situation, but here I am reflecting after helping a student find that perfect reading for an assignment. "Whether one may flee from a deadly plague" Picture God's perfect timing with me: Luther had just spent the last 10 years pushing for reformation, using the technology he had available to get his message out, when a plague hits his town. The printing press allowed his short educational pamphlets to spread in large numbers very quickly. Not unlike modern day Twitter or Facebook. This writing (part of "Devotional Writings 2" in vol.43 of his works) was able to be published and spread quickly as a letter of both encouragement and challenge. It went viral (pardon the euphemism). His words still hold that encouragement and challenge today.
