An appeal to a converted master to receive a converted escaped slave with kindness.
We are one family in our belief in our Lord Jesus… We are all slaves to Him and we all need His forgiveness… Therefore, we must all treat each other as brothers in the spirit of fellowship and forgive each other… so that we know how to pray: Forgive us our sins as We also forgive those who sin against us. Of course, this summary does not at all dispense with personal reading of the Bible and deep contemplation of its words.
