Note:
This short line appears with the editor’s footnote that “Ever more pronounced from this point on is Luther’s emphasis on the pro me, pro nobis (“for me, for us”), reflecting the personal aspect of faith which Luther himself experienced and now expressed in all his writings.” His theology was not dry academic theology, in other words.

As we are here entering Holy Week, perhaps you can meditate a moment on how the events the first Palm Sunday through Easter happened for you.
