Henry Forest (1529)

All we need to be set ablaze is one spark from the Holy Spirit.  One event can totally project us in a direction for good or bad.  For Henry, is Scottish countryman Patrick Hamilton helped in that spark.  Two years after Patricks public death for the gospel of Christ, Henry would take up that torch.  Again, James Beaton was on the prowl to kill and stomp out these reformers.  Only this time, he was in hot water for Patricks death and to get around entrapping Henry, he used a Benedictine monk on his payroll.  Sounded like a full proof plan.  They operated like the CIA of their day collecting Intel to condemn.  Henry's death had to be private so they chose to imprison him in a dungeon like jail, and have him killed within by other cell mates.  
By these two mens deaths, the Scottish Reformation exploded which gave way to a young man named John Knox, a fiery preacher the world has never known up until then.  The church was ready to explode like never before!  Law fare never works out and people like to think for themselves!  James attempt to kill the movement only caused it to ensure its existence into our time now.

The Lord God always protects His Word. What the enemy meant for death, God used for the eternal salvation of untold numbers of humans. I fully believe these dear people who gave all for the Gospel of Jesus Christ are celebrating with Him in Heaven.
