Philemon 1

Paul wrote to Philemon regarding a slave, Onesimus, that had escaped from Philemon's house and had met up with Paul. Paul had shared the gospel with Onesimus and was now sending him back to Philemon to be received as a brother in Christ rather than a slave.

This letter shows the power of redemption. Onesimus went from a fugitive to a beloved brother through the transforming power of Christ. The same power that transformed Onesimus can transform each of us as well. No one is beyond help if they turn to Jesus and accept His love and His lordship over their lives and allow Him to change their life from the inside out. Whatever you have done wrong in your life, there is hope; there is redemption.
