How did John Hus or Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley exhibit loyalty?
John Hus actively promoted Wycliffe’s ideas: that people should be permitted to read the Bible in their own language, and they should oppose the tyranny of the Roman church that threatened anyone possessing a non-Latin Bible with execution. Hus was burned at the stake in 1415, with Wycliffe’s manuscript Bibles used as kindling for the fire. He was fixed, steadfast and faithful even to the end.
Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley both met their end at the stake in Oxford on the 16th of October 1555. They were ready, prepared and determined.
*We can be delivered from the fire
*our faith is built
*We can be delivered through the fire
*our faith is refined
*We can be delivered by the fire into His arms.
*Our faith is perfected.
"For I am convinced that neither death nor live, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers;, neither height nor dept, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. "
Romans 8:38-39
I trust you to the death.
I trust you through the death.
I know that the blink of an eye, I will understand.
Will you?
