S U N D A Y S C H O O L continued ye do whatsoever I command you." (John 15:12, 14) Paul, the great missionary, was in prison in Rome because he had been faith ful in preaching about the Lord Jesus. Far away in the city of Colossae lived a Christian family in whose home the church held its meetings. This family owned a slave named Onesimus. Every one owned slaves in those days, even Christians. Onesimus stole some money from his master and ran away to Rome. Perhaps he had often heard Philemon, his master, talk about the great mission ary who was in prison in Rome. When the stolen money was spent and Onesimus was hungry and lonely he went to where Paul was a prisoner. Lovingly Paul told the run-away slave about the Lord Jesus. Paul might have hated Onesimus because of what he had done to Paul’s friend; he might have hated him because he was a sinful slave. Paul knew that the Lord Jesus had died for Onesimus; he knew that only the Saviour could change the heart and life of the wicked slave. Onesi mus found the Lord Jesus as his Saviour. Paul wrote the letter of Philemon in our New Testament for Onesimus to take back to Colossae to his master. The letter asked Philemon to take Onesimus back, not as a slave, but a brother in Christ. Some of the early writers of history tell us that Philemon kindly received Onesi mus, forgave him, and allowed him to be free. What Philemon did for Onesimus, the Lord Jesus Christ did for us. He freely forgave our sins, welcomed us for His own, and gave us freedom from Satan’s power. Recause of Paul’s love, Onesi mus found the Saviour. Is there someone who is poor, or lonely, or of a different race that needs your love to lead them to the Lord Jesus?

It was his search for the answer to the question, “What is Christianity?” that led Jopn Wesley to re-examine the current religious thought of his day.
