William Tyndale was convinced that people should have access to the Scriptures in their own language so that the truth of the gospel could be firmly established among the common people.
Wishart met John Knox who would go on to become one of the most prominent figures of the Scottish Reformation. Knox started out as a bodyguard for Wishart, carrying a sword with him as he traveled.
The Reformation of Scotland was the passion and burden of John Knox’s heart, leading him once to exclaim in prayer, “Give me Scotland or I die”.
One of the most striking things about John Knox was his faith and courage. Of him it was written “herein lies a man who never feared the face of another man” and perhaps this was because he was a man who only feared the face of God."
