In the Bible (Ex 21:5,6) we can read about slaves who loved their masters so much that they chose not to go free. To show his allegiance, the slave would be taken to a door or doorpost and have his ear piereced with an awl, marking him as a slave for life. Are we ready to make that kind of a commitment to our Master? In his letter to Philemon, Paul appeals to his friend on the basis of love to welcome back Onesimus, not just as a slave but as a brother. The gospel of Jesus Christ transcends all our relationships. May that kind of love be the evidence of our commitment to our Master (ear piercing is optional). Join us this Sunday, July 12 at 10:00 a.m.
