Theologia Germanica: Christlikeness

Feast of Oswald, King of Northumbria, Martyr, 642
Meditation:
For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin.
—Hebrews 4:15 (NIV)

Quotation:
In short: in all his ways and walks, whether as touching his own business, or his dealings with other men, he must keep his heart with all diligence, lest he do aught, or turn aside to aught, or suffer aught to spring up or dwell within him or about him, or let anything be done in him or through him, otherwise than were meet for God, and would be possible and seemly if God Himself were verily made Man.
... Theologia Germanica [1518], Anonymous, ascribed to Johannes de Francfordia, (1380?-1440) & Susanna Winkworth, tr., published anonymously by Martin Luther, ch. LII (see the book)
See also Heb. 4:15; Luke 22:28; Phil. 2:7-8; Heb. 2:17-18

Quiet time reflection:
Lord, You know all that we are tempted by.
