OFFER THEM CHRIST
Toward the end of his life, John Wesley commissioned Thomas Coke to go to America and ordain Francis Asbury and others into the ministry. He stood at the pier, and, as the boat departed, said to Coke, “Offer them Christ, Thomas…offer them Christ.”
This was reported to be his final instruction as Coke waved farewell to his mentor and left for America. The gesture and pose of this sculpture has Wesley offering “The Word” to the viewer along with his instruction for us to, “Offer Them Christ.”
