Controling: The short letter of Paul to Philemon gives us a view of what the grace of God can do and the peace it brings among believers in Christ. Paul is not addressing a problem here but opens with a note of thanksgiving v. 4 Philemon is a brother in the Lord who also is a slave owner. Oneimus his slave ran away to Rome and in prison met Paul who led him to Christ. It appears that he was a helper to Paul, but was now being sent back to Philemon. Paul is explaining that a new relationship has developed and that the one who was a slave is "a brother beloved" in the Lord. Paul interceeds on the behalf of Onesimus and promises to repay to Philemon anything owed. Paul shows his confidence that he "will do more" than asked when brother Onesimus arrives home. In application do you not think that Paul is imaging what Christ has done for us. We were far from God and under the sentence of death. But the Lord Jesus reached down to us in our need and saved us by his grace. In doing so he has purchased a new loving relationship with God who will do more than we can ever imagine when we arrive home. God bless his word Robert |
