blast you, luther!

in the midst of formulating some thoughts about circumcision and the law i've come across this quote:

The glory of God, which is in itself more excellent than the salvation of men, ought to receive from us a higher degree of esteem and regard. Believers earnestly desirous that the glory of God should be promoted, forget men, and forget the world, and would rather choose that the whole world should perish, than that the smallest portion of the glory of God should be withdrawn.

-Martin Luther

how am i supposed to just let this thought pass by?

Indeed.

I've been caught up in a similar thought process lately... but I won't share it just yet. It's part of my "simplicity" thing, though, if that gives you any idea.
