So much can be learned from this account of a slave owner and his runaway slave. As Bro. Jeff delves deeper into this inspiring true story, we are reminded how much God loves everyone, even those on the lowest rung of the social ladder, how He uses people to reach others, and how the inconveniences in our lives just may be His work to help us overcome barriers, hurts, and problems.
