Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all saints. Philemon 1:5
Paul was miles away in Rome and the news he heard about Philemon was excellent concerning his love and faith toward the Lord Jesus and toward all saints. What a wonderful testimony! What a witness to the world it would be if every professing Christian had this reputation. Let us ask ourselves, what are people hearing about us? Do they hear what Paul heard about Philemon? This man’s testimony was well known. He was not hiding his light under a bushel or bed. It was set on a hill and he was a true light in the world. May we be exercised to be so for His glory. —Harold G. Smith
I will sing the wondrous story of the Christ who died for me;
How He left His home in glory for the cross of Calvary. —H. Rowley
