Here is comfort, high as heaven, stronger than death! What! Mercy for all? for Zaccheus, a public robber? for Mary Magdalene, a common harlot? Methinks I hear one say, “Then I, even I, may hope for mercy!” (from Wesley's sermon "Salvation by Faith", III.6; quoted in Derek J. Tidball, Builders & Fools: Leadership the Bible way. Leicester: Inter-Varsity Press, 1999, 31).
