I've just been listening to some talks by Carl Trueman on Luther. One really powerful bit was where Trueman expounds some of the 40 theses that Luther presented at the Hieldberg Disputation in 1518. These two particularly struck me.
19 That person does not deserve to be called a theologian who looks upon the invisible things of God as though they were clearly perceptible in those things which have actually happened.
20 He deserves to be called a theologian, however, who comprehends the visible and manifest things of God seen through suffering and the cross.
You could spend a lifetime thinking about those. But just to give you a start try thinking about power, love, and hate with those statements in mind.
