Saints, I was doing a scripture commentary search this morning on Hebrews 4:12, when I came across this story. The purpose of it was to demonstrate the [i]logos
"When evangelist John Wesley (1703-1791) was returning home from a service one night, he was robbed. The thief, however, found his victim to have only a little money and some Christian literature.
As the bandit was leaving, Wesley called out,
“Stop! I have something more to give you.”
The surprised robber paused.
“My friend,” said Wesley, “you may live to regret this sort of life. If you ever do, here’s something to remember: [i]‘The blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin!’”
The thief hurried away, and Wesley prayed that his words might bear fruit.
Years later, Wesley was greeting people after a Sunday service when he was approached by a stranger. What a surprise to learn that this visitor, now a believer in Christ as a successful businessman, was the one who had robbed him years before!
“I owe it all to you,” said the transformed man.
“Oh no, my friend,” Wesley exclaimed, “not to me, but to the precious blood of Christ that cleanses us from all sin!”
God's Word is an arrow that never misses its mark.
