Sure Hope

England: Dr. Rowland Taylor

Before burning at the stake for teaching the Bible, Dr. Rowland Taylor wrote these beautiful words:

“I say to my wife and to my children, the Lord gave you to me, and the Lord has taken me from you and you from me: Blessed be the name of the Lord! I have ever found him more faithful and favorable than is any husband or father. Trust in him by means of our dear Savior’s merits: Believe, love, fear, and obey him. Pray to him, for he has promised to help. Count me not dead, for I shall eternally live and never die. I go before, and you shall follow after, to our eternal home.

“I say to you my dear friends of Hadley, and to all those who have heard me preach, that I depart from here with a quiet conscience concerning my teaching, for which I pray you thank God with me. For I have, in keeping withy my little talent, declared to others those lessons that I gathered out of God’s book, the blessed Bible. Therefore, if I, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you another gospel than that which you have received, God’s great cruse be upon that preacher!

“Departing from here with sure hope, without any doubting of eternal salvation, I thank God my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ my certain Savior.”

Proverbs 7:1-3 reads,

1 Follow my advice, my son;
      always treasure my commands.
 2 Obey my commands and live!
      Guard my instructions as you guard your own eyes.
 3 Tie them on your fingers as a reminder.
      Write them deep within your heart.

[Optional Questions]

Who are your most memorable teachers?

Can you recall times when you’ve followed someone’s advice and it paid off?

What advice have you been given recently? Are you “treasuring it?”

 

Prayer:  Dear God – these stories of people who followed you, even to their death – they amaze me. Dr. Taylor believed in you and didn’t waver in believing he was about to receive eternal life. Give me a belief in you as strong as his.

In Jesus’ Name, Amen
