An Evening to Remember

 As part of the celebration of the 500th anniversary of the Reformation,

Concordia Seminary in Fort Wayne is honoring Martin Luther's

translation of the Bible into the language of the people (German)

over a period of 4 days.

We decided to check it out!

Entering the auditorium, we saw the collection of Bibles in several languages.

 Once in the auditorium,

we listened to the reading of some exciting chapters--

those ending Genesis through the calling of Moses

and the plagues God inflicted on the Egyptians as recorded in Exodus.

 The reading will continue 24/7 with the exception of an hour on Friday morning.

 The readings are scheduled through Sunday at about 1:30 p.m.

We stepped out of the auditorium to the beautiful view of the campus by night

 refreshed and with new appreciation of our Bible and

the men who dedicated their lives to its transcriptions and translations.

The three of us remarked about the difference between

reading the Word and hearing it read.

And though we were not unfamiliar with the passages read,

we each heard several details as though for the first time!

Thanks, Concordia Theological Seminary for an evening to remember.
