John Knox
John Knox had great qualities which were needed in the perilous times in which he lived. He could not save his friend Wishart from being martyred by Cardinal Beaton. He was himself a galley-slave on a French ship because of the treachery of Roman Catholic negotiators going back on their word. He was a brave and conscientious soldier of Christ. He was always sincere and unselfish in all he said and did. From first to last he pursued the same straight, unswerving course. He stood firm amid the extraordinary events in which, by the Providence and grace of God, he played such a conspicuous and heroic part. He saw through the inherent deceitfulness and corruptions of Rome. He hated Popery with a “perfect hatred” [Psalm 139:22: see his interpretation of this verse in his “Epistle to the Afflicted Church of Christ” during Queen “bloody” Mary's reign]. He regarded Mary, Queen of Scots and her Regent mother as Rome's chief protagonists working to enslave the Scots to Rome again. He opposed their hypocrisies with a courage that was all the more effective because it was grounded on the Word of God. On matters of faith he would criticize the highest in the land and he would not hesitate to do so face to face. |
