Continuing a journey through London on the 43 bus route - with a Christian eye. The whole series is viewable on the '43 bus route' tag below.
Across the insanity that is Old Street roundabout, the 43 bus passes the house of John Wesley. Not of course the only place he lived in his 87 years, but one he built for himself in the grounds of his London Chapel and his home for his final decade or so.
It is the house where he died after an astonishing ministry that echoes across the world still today in the form of Methodism. In his bedroom here - you can visit it still - he said his final words, "The best of all is, God is with us."
No matter how much we do, the Christian's greatest joy is whose we are.
