The Day Jesus Almost Died

On a tumultuous day, the chaos surrounding Jesus’ attempt to speak exemplifies human hostility to truth. Dragged to a town, He faced vehement rejection, with crowds eager for violence instead of understanding. Not deterred, He persevered against the noise and hostility, embodying resilience in the face of opposition. This account from John Wesley’s Journal captures a pivotal moment of conflict, illustrating not only the deep challenges faced by Jesus but also the human tendency to resist powerful messages that challenge our perspectives.

  1. The Day Jesus Almost Died

  2. To attempt speaking was vain; for the noise on every side was like the roaring of the sea. So they dragged me along till we came to the town; where seeing the door of a large house open, I attempted to go in; but a man, catching me by the hair, pulled me back into the middle of theThe Heart of John Wesley’s Journal

  3. … At the west end of the town, seeing a door half open, I made toward it and would have gone in; but a gentleman in the shop would not suffer me, saying, they would pull the house down to the ground. However, I stood at the door, and asked, “Are you willing to hear me speak?” Many cried out, “No, no! knock his brains out; down with him; kill him at once.”The Heart of John Wesley’s Journal

  4. (Later)…many endeavored to throw me down while we were going downhill on a slippery path to the town; as well judging, that if I was once on the ground, I should hardly rise anymore. But I made no stumble at all, nor the least slip till I was entirely out of their hands…”The Heart of John Wesley’s Journal
