Sermon: Lessons on redemption
Introduction
Context:
The early church was born during Roman empire. It was formed of 3 major people groups. Slaves, Freed people and people who were born free. The law forced that a slave and his entire generation should continue in slavery unless his master sets him free. However there were 3 possibilities.

“5-year old Johnny was in the kitchen as his mother made supper. She asked him to go into the pantry and get her a can of tomato soup, but he didn’t want to go in alone. “It’s dark in there and I’m scared.” She asked again, and he persisted. Finally she said, “It’s OK–Jesus will be in there with you.” Johnny walked hesitantly to the door and slowly opened it. He peeked inside, saw it was dark, and started to leave when all at once an idea came, and he said: “Jesus, if you’re in there, would you hand me that can of tomato soup?”
