It is a day when we ought to rejoice that the Bible started to become accessible to everyone in their own language. When Luther nailed his 95 thesis to the door of the church in Wittenberg, he intended to begin an academic discussion on the (lack of) biblical foundations for indulgences. God used it to expose the greed of unscrupulous men and religious leaders. As a result, Luther translated the Bible into German so everyone could read it for themselves. William Tyndall did the same with an English translation, and this trend of supplying the Scriptures to all in their own language continues to today."}
