Conviction of Sin
John 16:9
Of sin, because they believe not on me;


As John Wesley on a summer evening in 1742 was preaching on his father's tombstone, he observed a gentleman in his audience, who, he knew, made no profession of religion. "I was informed," said Mr. Wesley, "that he had not been at public worship of any kind for upwards of thirty years. Seeing him stand as motionless as a statue, I asked him abruptly 'Sir, are you a sinner?' He replied with a deep and broken voice, 'Sinner enough,' and continued looking upward till his wife and a servant or two, who were all in tears, put him into his chaise and carried him home.

(J. F. B. Tinling, B. A.)
