SK writes, "Christianity changes water into wine; it denies man the earthly, but gives him the eternal; he must die to the world, but then he becomes spirit. Is not the change of animal-creation to "spirit" the same as changing water into wine?"
Now that the Christmas Holiday is over and Easter is only a couple of months away, I am thinking about what Christ did for me. Christ was wrapped in rags and laid in a manger, but he was buried in a new grave. And in a grave which belonged to another person, which Luther regards as an allusion to the symbol that Christ is dead for us.
Perhaps man's highest achievement is to let God be able to help him. At the end of the day, I would rather be spirit.
