Confidence to the End
Hebrews 3:3-6
For this man was counted worthy of more glory than Moses, inasmuch as he who has built the house has more honor than the house.…


The time came when Luther was to write no more. He was at Eisleben, attending a Protestant synod. It was the 17th February, 1546. He felt that. he was dying. "Pray, brethren; oh! pray for the spread of the gospel," he said to his fellow-labourers. Then he took a turn or two in the room, and lay down. "Friends, I am dying. Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commit my spirit." "Reverend father," said Dr. Jonas, "do you die firm in the faith you have taught?" Luther opened his eyes, which were half-closed, looked fixedly at Jonas, and replied, firmly and distinctly, "Yes." That was the last word he uttered; then his great spirit went home.
