00:18.410 --> 00:20.430 I see we're heading to Erfurt, Germany. 00:21.110 --> 00:24.630 I'm going to finish up my studies at the university. 00:24.970 --> 00:28.270 It'll make my father proud, my mother, it will soothe her. 00:28.770 --> 00:30.050 Let me introduce myself. 00:30.190 --> 00:31.170 The name is Martin. 00:31.270 --> 00:32.010 Martin Luther. 00:42.660 --> 00:46.220 I'm heading on to practice law, my path seems clear. 00:46.660 --> 00:49.840 But now this summer storm is getting so severe. 00:50.380 --> 00:53.260 The downpour makes the trails start to disappear. 00:53.920 --> 00:55.300 The wind's blowing me away. 00:56.020 --> 00:58.500 I'm looking for the whale, and all I'm seeing is lightning. 00:59.760 --> 01:02.120 Flashing all around, and all I'm feeling is thunder. 01:03.040 --> 01:04.720 And it's knocking me to the ground. 01:05.120 --> 01:08.560 I'm shouting out to Saint Anna, and I am anxious she ain't answering. 01:08.560 --> 01:10.280 Oh, the thunder and the lightning. 01:10.800 --> 01:12.860 I think I'm lost, oh, when will I be found?

02:15.840 --> 02:20.700 A voice inside me softly wonders if eternal life is something I'll receive. 02:20.700 --> 02:24.020 What can I do to be preferred? 02:24.640 --> 02:27.960 Lord, keep me steadfast in your word. 02:32.660 --> 02:36.160 My heart is breaking, my soul is aching. 02:36.280 --> 02:39.800 Spending every waking minute dwelling on my sin. 02:40.060 --> 02:43.000 Breaking poles within, making goals for mending. 02:43.180 --> 02:48.640 All the holes that keep me far from heaven, I'm feeling dead last and 02:48.640 --> 02:49.010 deterred. 02:49.010 --> 02:54.050 Lord, keep me steadfast in your word. 03:18.880 --> 03:22.580 By grace I'm saved, grace-free and boundless. 03:22.800 --> 03:26.140 My soul believed and doubted not. 03:26.660 --> 03:30.120 Why stagger at this word of promise? 03:30.460 --> 03:33.740 Has scripture ever falsehood taught? 03:34.220 --> 03:34.620 No! 03:34.840 --> 03:37.500 Then this word must true remain. 03:38.060 --> 03:41.280 By grace you too will life obtain. 03:44.360 --> 03:46.400 Look at what I've seen, what does this mean? 03:46.460 --> 03:47.920 The lean on grace and faith. 03:48.160 --> 03:51.740 I mean, I thought I had to earn God's love by myself by doing all the right things. 03:52.060 --> 03:55.900 But Ephesians 2 verse 8 and 9 speak life to my awakened mind. 03:56.000 --> 04:00.620 I'm finding that the price of sin has been paid with peace the sweet word brings. 04:03.440 --> 04:10.680 By grace God's Son, our only Savior, came down to earth to bear our sin. 04:10.680 --> 04:18.200 Was it because of your own merit that Jesus died your soul to win? 04:18.660 --> 04:19.100 No! 04:19.280 --> 04:26.000 It was grace and grace alone that brought him from his heavenly throne. 04:28.440 --> 04:30.940 I could never do all that the law demands. 04:31.080 --> 04:34.440 These human hands, you understand, they try to do right but they often do 04:34.440 --> 04:36.120 wrong with hope was lent for me. 04:36.120 --> 04:39.600 With every misbehavior I felt more and more enslaved to telling me that Jesus 04:39.600 --> 04:40.640 came to be my Savior. 04:40.940 --> 04:43.800 He died on the cross to redeem me, setting my soul free. 04:44.120 --> 04:45.980 He lives so we will never die. 04:46.060 --> 04:48.740 So on his promise I'll rely in good works. 04:48.860 --> 04:52.620 I could not take pride, they just show faith's alive inside. 04:54.720 --> 04:57.280 By grace I'm saved. 05:02.740 --> 05:05.200 By grace I'm saved. 05:27.630 --> 05:30.890 Ooh, I heard what you said there, wash your mouth with soap. 05:30.930 --> 05:33.810 But wait, just buy this indulgence so you won't need to mope. 05:34.030 --> 05:36.350 See, forgiveness of those sins is our monopoly. 05:36.890 --> 05:39.930 I collect two hundred dollars, you get out of jail free. 05:45.290 --> 05:48.250 Ooh, your friend, rest in peace, she worked to follow the law. 05:48.470 --> 05:51.290 But in the end she would admit it, she had obvious flaws. 05:51.610 --> 05:54.350 Now her soul in purgatory longs for just a drip of water. 05:54.450 --> 05:57.670 Drop a nickel in the coffer so she'll know that you bethought her. 06:02.890 --> 06:05.670 Yo, yo, Johan, what's your last name, old man?
