Letters of John Calvin VI: The Final Farewell of the Reformer

This week, we conclude our journey through the letters of John Calvin, exploring the final days of the Magisterial Reformer. Dr. John Snyder shares the accounts of Calvin’s last words, showing his heart for the church, his love for Christ, and his enduring impact on the Reformation.

Throughout his life, Calvin addressed disloyalty, royalty, the joys of marriage, and the sorrows of losing loved ones. In his final days, he reminds us that Scripture is the highest authority, even above his own teachings, and he meets with pastors in Geneva to guide the continuation of both local church work and the broader global Reformation.

In these closing scenes, we witness Calvin’s devotion to his people, his unwavering faith, and his desire to see evangelism and discipleship thrive after his death. His words remain profoundly relevant for Christians today, inspiring us to make Christ known in our families, churches, towns, and nations.

Join us for this moving conclusion to the series on John Calvin’s letters, and discover timeless lessons from one of the most influential figures in church history.
