| Summary | "Epistle Sermons, Vol. 2: Epiphany, Easter and Pentecost" by Martin Luther is a collection of theological discourses likely written in the early 16th century. This volume specifically includes sermons focusing on the themes of Epiphany, Easter, and Pentecost, emphasizing the significance of faith and the Christian life as expressed through love, community, and service to others. The work serves as a guide for both clergy and laypersons seeking deeper understanding of Lutheran doctrine and its implications for living a Christ-centered life. The opening portion of the book introduces Luther's reflections on the fruits of faith, using Romans 12 as a foundational text. At the start, he articulates the call for Christians to present their bodies as living sacrifices, emphasizing the importance of humility and self-denial in living out one's faith. Luther contrasts the notion of spiritual sacrifice with the external, ritualistic sacrifices of the Old Testament, advocating for a transformation of the heart and mind in response to God's mercy. He argues that true service to God flows from a genuine understanding of one's faith, and he sets the stage for discussing various Christian virtues such as love, unity, and the importance of serving one another without regard for one’s own status.
