Sharing that leads to freedom - Philemon 8-25

The second half of the letter to Philemon is a powerful message to a man - and a world - that treated so many people as slaves. Even though we may not live in a world where slavery exists, it is still a life-changing message that teaches us to see people the way God sees them, to value them as people, and our fellow Christians as God’s children. And most of all, it calls us to follow Christ in being willing to put ourselves on the line in order to love, forgive, and heal divisions among others, in the way that Paul does for Onesimus, and Jesus did for us all.
