Day 78, yep sorry still a little sporadic. Next week will be better.
Been reading today about John Knox. A Scottish hero.
He was the leader of the Scottish protestant movement. an ex-catholic priest. He witnessed the death of George Wishart (burned at the stake in St Andrews). But rather than run away he returned to Scotland to lead the protestant movement and risked also being martyred.
After an incredible ministry he passed away and was buried.
Here's the thing. Today, if you want to see his burial spot ...its parking space #23 in a government parking lot.
That's all you'll find of Knox!
But then - that's all Knox would have wanted!
Everything I counted gain I view now as rubbish ....wrote the Apostle Paul.
Knox's burial spot becoming a parking space .....holds to Paul's epitaph.
Intentional follow of Jesus - refuse any acclaim, seek no title, make sure you've got no designated parking place...unless its a basic number built on top of your grave!
