Luther and Lewis

Out of love, Christ, with all His saints, takes on our form and fights with us against sin, death, and all evil, so that we, being kindled with love, take His form, trust ourselves to His righteousness, His life and blessedness, and so through the fellowship of the good that belongs to Him and the wretchedness that belongs to us, we become one loaf, one bread, one body, one drink, and all is common. Oh, what a great Sacrament this is, that Christ and His Church are one flesh and one bone.—Martin Luther, Sermon on the Sacrament of the Body of Christ, 1519

His [Our Lord’s] teaching therefore cannot be grasped by the intellect alone, cannot be ‘got up’ as if it were a ‘subject’. If we try to do that with it, we shall find Him the most elusive of teachers. He hardly ever gave a straight answer to a straight question. He will not, in the way we want, be ‘pinned down’. The attempt is (again, I mean no irreverence) like trying to bottle a sunbeam.—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 265.
