At the heart of Paul’s epistle to Philemon is a depth of feeling and friendship, along with a story about the grace of God at work in the lives of three very different individuals: the apostle Paul, the slave Onesimus, and his master Philemon. What Paul writes elsewhere about the unifying nature of kinship in Christ, we see him living out through this very personal letter. From this example, Alistair Begg shows us how to live in Christian fellowship with one another.
1Paul, aa prisoner for Christ Jesus, and bTimothy our brother,
To Philemon our beloved fellow worker 2and Apphia our sister and cArchippus our dfellow soldier, and ethe church in your house:
3fGrace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
4gI thank my God always when I remember you in my prayers, 5because I hhear of your love and iof the faith that you have toward the Lord Jesus and for all the saints, 6and I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective for the full jknowledge of every good thing that is in us for the sake of Christ.1 7For I have derived much joy and kcomfort from your love, my brother, because the hearts of the saints lhave been refreshed through you.
