Philemon's Postcard with a Punch

6/10/2022

 
This Sunday, at 9:30am, as we continue our series, Postcards with a Punch, we will be moving away from the judgemental tone of Jude and looking at a heartfelt letter sent by Paul to his friend and ministry co-worker, Philemon.  Between the lines of this picture postcard of forgiveness is a message for all of us--a message about second chances and showing mercy.  Philemon is a message about grace.

Of the thirteen letters Paul wrote in the New Testament, Philemon is the shortest, and like Jude, only 25 verses.  Writing from Rome, Paul addresses a slave owner named Philemon.  Paul's purpose isn't to confront a heresy or straighten out a doctrinal confusion.  Instead, with a personal tone that can only come from a true friend, he writes to restore a broken relationship.  He appeals to Philemon to welcome back Onesimus, a runaway slave who most likely stole from Philemon, fled to Rome, but who has become a Christian through Paul's ministry.

Take time this weekend to read the book of Philemon and, as you do, ask yourself these questions:  Christ forgives the runaway, but am I willing to forgive myself and those who have hurt me?  Can I open my arms to His grace?
