Luther and Lewis

And that sword, he says, is the Word of God. For a sword of steel and iron would avail us nothing against the devil; it must be the sword of the Spirit.—Martin Luther, Sermon 1531.

You cannot fit Christ’s earthly life in Palestine into any time-relations with His life as God beyond all space and time. It is really, I suggest, a timeless truth about God that human nature, and the human experience of weakness and ignorance, are somehow included in His whole divine life.—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 280.
