I have been reading the journal of John Wesley and came across this interesting entry:
“I finished the translation of Martin Luther’s Life. Doubtless he was a man highly favoured of God, and a blessed instrument in his hand. But O! what pity that he had no faithful friend! None that would, at all hazards rebuke him plainly and sharply, for his rough, untractable spirit, and bitter zeal for opinions, so greatly obstructive of the work of God.”
If that was true of Martin Luther, how much more for Christian leaders today!
