John Wesley salvat de la foc

Young John Wesley is lifted from an upper window as flames consume the roof of the family home. A man stands on another rescuer’s shoulders to reach the child, while neighbors and household members gather below with raised hands, water, and urgent concern. Smoke pours through the night air as the rescue unfolds at the edge of disaster.

The scene portrays the famous childhood deliverance of John Wesley from the Epworth rectory fire, an event remembered in Methodist history as a sign of divine preservation. Wesley later understood his survival through the biblical language of a “brand plucked out of the fire,” connecting his life and ministry with God’s providential mercy. This artwork serves well for church history teaching, Methodist heritage resources, sermon visuals on deliverance, and lessons on God’s calling through peril.
