Many times, when we face difficulties, afflictions, and persecutions because of the gospel, we usually remember our brothers who suffered terrible persecutions in the Middle Ages. Check out these questions for reflection:

What was it that cheered the faithful Waldenses during the horrible persecutions they faced? What gave Huss and Jerome, the martyrs of the Middle Ages, the courage to face the flames and the sword? And what about Tyndale, Latimer, who also faced fire and sword? One thing I can tell you, it was undoubtedly faith in the promises of God. 

They believed Christ’s promise: “Because I live, you will live also” (John 14:19). They found His strength sufficient for life’s greatest trials. They even found joy through fellowship with Christ in His sufferings. And their faithfulness was a powerful witness to the world.

John Huss would not falter in the face of imprisonment, injustice, and death itself. He languished in prison for months. The cold, damp conditions brought on a fever that nearly ended his life. Nevertheless, “the grace of God sustained him. During the weeks of suffering that passed before his final sentence, heaven’s peace filled his soul.
