St. Paul United Methodist Church

One of the reasons why I appreciate church history is because it gives examples of different people who lived and breathed their faith. It is one thing to know or believe, it is something else to faithfully live in times of ease or persecution. Apollonius the Apologist was one such person who faithfully lived as a follower of Christ regardless of his situation.

He was a philosopher and a member of the Roman Senate. He was denounced as a “secret” Christian by fellow senators. Naturally, he was brought before the senate for his belief because it was illegal to be a Christian. The account of his trial was marked with civility. Both Apollonius and his accusers treated each other with respect and courtesy. Though he lived in the 2^nd Century, the way he treated his accusers is a lesson for the modern person.

Even in disagreement, one can treat another with respect. For Apollonius, to treat another otherwise, would be to discredit the God he worshipped. I wonder what would happen if followers of Christ treated every single person the same way they would treat Jesus Christ. How effective would the witness be! Give it a try this week. Imagine every person around you is Jesus and let that image dictate your actions.

This Week’s Readings:

Monday – 1 John 5
Tuesday – 2 John 1:1-13
Wednesday – 3 John 1:1-15
Thursday – Jude 1:1-25
Friday – Revelation 1

Please Pray for:

Our ministers and their families.
Those who are unwillingly absent.
The United Methodist Church family.
Our nation and our leaders.
The World.
The Lost.
The lives of those touched by the Coronavirus.
