Luther's Sermon

Luther uses a lot of language devices that we learned in class. First he uses diction with words such as "nations, Lord, Father, our King, and Child" to reveal God's divine power and Chirst's sacrifice that can save us from sins and evil. We can also see comparison. "Not by human flesh and blood, by the Spirit of our God,". This showed God chose to make Jesus Chirst not in a physical body way, but in a spiritual way.
Luther uses pathos to reveal his theme as well. For example, "Wondrous birth! O wondrous Child", "Boundless shall Thy kingdom be;", and "High the song of triumph swell!". Luther tries to preach people by showing his emotions in the fact of God's power and Chirst's birth. He uses his impressions to honor and respect Chirst's birth. Luther also uses logos to show the holyness of Chirst and the importance of glorious God in our human life. The quote "That the Lord chose such a birth.", and "Hast o'er sin the victory won." shows Luther's use of logos as well. The Luther's sermon has a strong and great theme. He mostly glorifies Christ's birth and considers it as a celebration of mankind. Perhaps, Luther tries to convey a message to the mankind that our human should be less agressive about our overusing of sins.
