"Word Not In Vain"
A highwayman once stopped John Wesley and demanded
his money or his life.
Wesley, after giving him the money, said, "Let me
speak one word to you; the time may come when you will regret the course
of life in which you are now engaged.Remember this, 'The blood of Jesus
Christ cleanseth from all sin.' "
No more was said, and they parted.
Many years after, as Wesley was going out of a
church in which he had been preaching, a stranger introduced himself, and
askedWesley if he remembered being waylaid at such a time.
Wesley said he recollected it.
"I was that man," said the stranger, "and that
single verse you quoted on that occasion was the means of a total change
in my life and habits. I have long since been in the practice of attending
the house of God and of giving attention to His Word, and trust that I am
a Christian."
