Moral Fearlessness
Mark 12:13-14
And they send to him certain of the Pharisees and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words.…


In Scotland, Knox arose, of whom the Regent Morton said, "Here lies one who never feared the face of man;" who said himself that "he had locked in the faces of many angry men." When he was working in chains on the galleys in France, they brought him an image of the Virgin, and bade him worship the mother of God. "Mother of God," he exclaimed, "it is a pented bredd" (or hoard), and he flung it into the river to sink or swim. "Who are you?" said Mary Queen of Scots to him, "that presume to school the nobles and sovereign of this realm?" "Madam," he answers, "a subject born within the same." "Have you hope?" they ask him on his death bed, when he can no longer speak; and lifting his hand he pointed upwards with his finger, and so, pointing to heaven, he died.
