True Treasure

On October 31, 1517 Martin Luther nailed his famous (or infamous) 95 theses to the door of the church at Wittenburg, Germany. While most of the 95 protested abuses by church leadership and the selling of indulgences, there is one that might be considered the most vital of all. Number 62 of those 95 thesis says simply:

"The true treasure of the church is the most holy gospel of the glory and grace of God."

In this Luther could not have been more right.
