Onesimus is a slave who escaped from his master Philemon and went to Rome. While in Rome he met the apostle Paul, heard the message of the gospel, and gave his life to Jesus Christ. Paul writes Philemon to ask him to take Onesimus back “no longer as a slave but as a dear brother” (verse 16) in the Lord. This is a story of faith, salvation, humility and reconciliation.
Do you have relationships that need reconciled? Do you have the courage to ask for forgiveness? Do you have the strength to forgive and accept someone as a brother or sister in the Lord? Listen to this short letter to find deep answers.
