The message from Reformation Sunday 2021 on the life of missionary John Paton (1824-1907) from Romans 15:21. This is a story of faithfulness, courage, and he transforming power of the Gospel. A story of Cannibals of the South Sea, islands of people led out of darkness into light. This story has been called by one writer, “The Indiana Jones of missionary stories" and Charles Spurgeon called John Paton, “The King of Cannibals.”
John Paton: “At the moment when I put the bread and wine into those dark hands, once stained with the blood of cannibalism, but now stretched out to receive and partake the emblems and seals of the Redeemer’s love, I had a foretaste of the joy of glory that well nigh broke my heart to pieces. I shall never taste a deeper bliss, till I gaze on the glorified face of Jesus himself.”
