True Teachings
England: Dr. Rowland Taylor
The people of Hadley begged Dr. Rowland Taylor not to go see the bishop of Winchester and Lord Chancellor. They knew the bishop was furious at the teachings of Dr. Taylor.
For nearly twenty years, the English Bible had been legally distributed in England. Dr. Taylor had simply taught all those in his church to read the Bible for themselves and to follow its teachings. In contrast, religious leaders under the brutal rule of Queen Mary I called for strict adherence to the customs of the church.
After being insulted and accused by the bishop, Rowland replied, “I am a Christian man. I have not blasphemed against the church. In fact, by your own charge, you are the heretic. Christ died once and for all for the sins of mankind. It is sufficient. You and your traditions can offer nothing more.”
For the next two years, Dr. Taylor was a prisoner. When he learned that he would be burned at the stake outside Hadley, he leaped for joy. He was not concerned for his safety. Instead, he rejoiced at the thought of traveling through Hadley and once again seeing his brothers and sisters in the faith.
Dr. Taylor died in the winter of 1555.
John 14: 23 reads, 23 Jesus replied, “All who love me will do what I say.
Jesus goes on to say, “My Father will love them, and we will come and make our home with each of them. 24 Anyone who doesn’t love me will not obey me. And remember, my words are not my own. What I am telling you is from the Father who sent me. 25 I am telling you these things now while I am still with you. 26 But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.
What does it mean to you – to “do what Jesus says?”
Is there something that Jesus is asking you to do that you’ve stubbornly waited to do? Make a note to do it soon.
Prayer:
Dear God, if we say we love you, then we will do what you say. Help us drop our stubborn attitudes and be wiling to actually do what you say. Help us turn away from skepticism and look to you for our hope, the same hope that Dr. Taylor had.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen
