His Word Prevails

We are so much thankful of John Wycliffe because he translated the Bible to English which is very useful until now. People before were having a hard time understanding because its not of their own language. Even in Europe, although most of them doesn't understand Latin but the priest would speak of the homily in Latin. If we are to evaluate it properly, how can the Word of God be effective and affect in one's lives if they have not understood it?

John Wycliffe played a significant role of making the Bible be understood especially to the Americans. Many believers now a days aim to translate the Bible to the mother tongue of the people they ministered especially to the tribal people. He is also a proponent of teaching the use of the Scripture.

I chose this quote of Him because it reflects on his desires. When he said “I believe that in the end the truth will conquer”. This quote is so much in line with his actions and desire. I think the truth being referred here is the Bible, the Word of Truth. When he said this he already made a great step and that is to translate the Bible in English. Knowing that the universal language is also English. Through him many were able to understand the Bible further.

In application, may this be the desire of our hearts also, Although, there are really countries that doesn't allow the Bible to be used in their countries. May this be our desire also that the Word of God will prevail in the world. So Let us support those faithful translators of the Bible into different language. We will continue to pray for them and also pray for aspiring translator someday. May Wycllife's legacy be an inspiration for us to serve God all the more.
