There was a remarkable incident in the life of the martyr and reformer, Bishop Hugh Latimer. He had been a chaplain to King Henry VIII. The king knew his forthrightness and he knew his views and he knew he was uncompromising. Partly to get him away from the court because his preaching was so clear, he made him Bishop of Worcester. But the tide was turning against the Reformation, and the King had drawn up the Six Articles that would take the Reformed church back to the Roman Catholic faith, and Hugh Latimer is one of those who will not sign. And he is summoned to London to preach before the king. It was a dangerous time. What would he say? He stood in the pulpit and the king was there, and Latimer, who could be quite theatrical at times as a preacher, stood in the pulpit and as if speaking to himself in a very loud stage whisper, he said, ‘Latimer, be careful. The king of England is here.’ And then he paused, and he continued in that stage whisper, ‘Latimer, be careful. The King of kings is here.’ Well, his words were not lost on the king. The king knew he would be forthright because he feared the King of kings more than he feared the king of England. Latimer saw Christ. He did not visualise him, he did not imagine him, he did not try to picture him, but he knew he was there. That is how we ought to live. It is the privilege of every believer in Christ here to see Christ by faith in the picture. How steadying, how strengthening!
