"Saviors of the Nation, Come"

In Luther's hymn ,"Saviors of the Nations, Come" he uses tools such as diction to convey the aspect of Christs sacrifice for mankind and the salvation of the world. When Luther says "Not by human flesh and blood, by the spirit of our God, was the word of God made flesh." he describes to us, how that without God we ourselves are useless, and could never reach eternal salvation. He then goes on and tells us that by the spirit and power of God we are made holy. In this passage "Wondrous birth! O wondrous child
of the virgin undefiled! Though by all the world disowned, still to be in heaven enthroned." Luther uses words such as wondrous, undefiled, and disowned, to explain the traits of God's son, the Virgin Mary, and the sinful cruel world. Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross by us and for us. He was sent to save us, but we turned on Him. Though we did this God has forgivven us and given us a spot with Him in heave.
