If there’s one word that sums up the message of Philemon, it’s “reconciliation.” As God has reconciled us to Himself in Christ Jesus, so we are to be reconciled to others. Paul sought to facilitate such reconciliation between Philemon and Onesimus, who were formerly master and slave but became brothers in Christ. In this message, Alistair Begg breaks down Paul’s instructions for Philemon to welcome Onesimus, charge his debts to Paul, and refresh Paul’s heart before he came to join them in fellowship.
17So if you consider me your partner, receive him as you would receive me. 18If he has wronged you at all, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. 19I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it—to say nothing of your owing me even your own self. 20Yes, brother, I want some benefit from you in the Lord. Refresh my heart in Christ.
21Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. 22At the same time, prepare a guest room for me, for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be graciously given to you.
23Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends greetings to you, 24and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my fellow workers.
25The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
