I Must Tell the Lord

A poor slave who was being threatened by his master, that he would punish him if he attended the preaching, replied, with respect and gentleness,
“I must tell the Lord that.”
This saying wrought so powerfully on the master’s mind, that he not only permitted him to go, but likewise all the slaves in his house, and afterward attended himself, and brought his wife with him.
As there are many little boys and girls who love the Lord Jesus Christ, and are treated unkindly by those who have “no fear of God before their eyes,” such may learn a lesson from the slave, and, without replying as he did, be led to cast all their cares upon Him who cares for them, and pray for those who are unkind to them, that they may be granted repentance unto life.
“Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you.” Matthew 5:4444But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; (Matthew 5:44).
