Worth Dying For

In the 1300’s John Wycliffe, the great reformer, translated the whole Bible into Englisha work that took twenty-two years. Many handwritten copies were made from his translation. Those who could not afford to buy one of these Bibles paid considerable money to read it for one hour a day. A load of hay was sometimes given for a few pages of it. Truly, “the Word of the Lord was precious in those days” (1 Samuel 3:1). History relates a long list of martyrs who were burnt at the stake rather than give up this blessed Book of books.

In 1525, William Tyndale was the first to publish an English New Testament in print. This was done under great difficulty as he suffered exile, poverty and distress. In all, at least 15,000 copies were issued which were secretly imported into England in bales of cloth or sacks of flour. Many thousands were seized and destroyed. In 1536, Tyndale was strangled and burnt at the stake by those who hated the Word of God.

What value do you place on the Word of God? Can you say: “O how love I Thy law! it is my meditation all the day” (Psalm 119:97).
