Knox’ Terrible Dream

During his last hours, John Knox woke from a slumber sighing, and told his friends that he had just been tempted to believe that he had “merited Heaven and eternal blessedness, by the faithful discharge of my ministry. But blessed be God who has enabled me to beat down and quench the fiery dart, by suggesting to me such passages of Scripture as these: ‘What hast thou that thou didst not receive? By the grace of God I am what I am. Not I, but the grace of God which was with me.’ ”
