Philemon Chapter 1. Paul is Back in The Slammer. Philemon: Great
Christian or Greatest Christian? Hidey ho! Paul here. Timothy, too.
He just loves to tag along for these letters.This time, Paul is
writing his friends Philemon, Apphia, and Archippus. But the bulk
of this is mostly addressed to Philemon.Paul knows how super loving
and faithful Philemon is. He's heard all about it and it's warmed
his little heart just thinking about all the Christians that have
been inspired by Philemon's goodness.But really, Paul has a favor
to ask here. It's a biggie, but note that he's asking, not telling
Philemon what to do. Even though Paul could totally command him, he
won't. Smooth move.See, while Paul was in prison (again), he met a
guy named Onesimus. He taught Onesimus about Jesus and Onesimus
became a believer. Hallelujah, right?Kind of. See, Onesimus was
also a slave who ran away from his master, Philemon.While Onesimus
was in prison with Paul, he helped him out tons. Paul would have
liked to keep Onesimus there with him, but now he's decided to send
him back to his former master. See, Paul didn't want to
overstep his bounds and keep someone else's slave. He'd much rather
Philemon agree to this arrangement on his own. You know, so he
doesn't feel like Paul's forcing him or anything. In fact,
Paul hopes that when Onesimus comes back, Philemon will welcome his
human property as a brother in Christ. Paul wants Philemon to
"welcome him as you would welcome me." We're sure that's gonna go
over really well.And to sweeten the deal, Paul even agrees to pay
any debts that Onesimus owes Philemon. Paul is really laying it all
on the line here, Philemon.Paul knows that Philemon will do the
right thing here. He's just gotta.
