Notice that Paul did not even mention Onesimus\u2019 name until that rapport had been built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I read something that made me laugh a little. It mentioned that Paul wrote tactfully and in a light-hearted tone.&nbsp; Well, I\u2019ll give you a little light-hearted, but I think this letter was anything but tactful.&nbsp; I think Paul had the authority and he used it.&nbsp; Read this little letter with me and tell me what you think at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/liftinghervoice.com\/contact\/\">Lifting Her Voice<\/a>.com,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/joy.blantonmiller\/\">Facebook<\/a>,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/joy_blantonmiller\/\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LiftingHerVoice\">Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Philemon Chapter 1<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Greeting<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul, a prisoner of Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To Philemon our dear friend and coworker, to Apphia our sister, to Archippus our fellow soldier, and to the church that meets in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Philemon\u2019s Love and Faith<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>I always thank my God when I mention you in my prayers, because I hear of your love for all the saints and the faith that you have in the Lord Jesus. I pray that your participation in the faith may become effective through knowing every good thing that is in us for the glory of Christ. For I have great joy and encouragement from your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>An Appeal for Onesimus<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>For this reason, although I have great boldness in Christ to command you to do what is right, I appeal to you, instead, on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an elderly man and now also as a prisoner of Christ Jesus, appeal to you for my son, Onesimus. I became his father while I was in chains. Once he was useless to you, but now he is useful both to you and to me. I am sending him back to you \u2014 I am sending my very own heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanted to keep him with me, so that in my imprisonment for the gospel he might serve me in your place. But I didn\u2019t want to do anything without your consent, so that your good deed might not be out of obligation, but of your own free will. For perhaps this is why he was separated from you for a brief time, so that you might get him back permanently, no longer as a slave, but more than a slave \u2014 as a dearly loved brother. He is especially so to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>As You Would Me<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would me. And if he has wronged you in any way, or owes you anything, charge that to my account. I, Paul, write this with my own hand: I will repay it \u2014 not to mention to you that you owe me even your very self. Yes, brother, may I benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. Since I am confident of your obedience, I am writing to you, knowing that you will do even more than I say. Meanwhile, also prepare a guest room for me, since I hope that through your prayers I will be restored to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Final Greetings<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Epaphras, my fellow prisoner in Christ Jesus, sends you greetings, and so do Mark, Aristarchus, Demas, and Luke, my coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Closing Thoughts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I think the very best part of this letter is to imagine the part we don\u2019t read.\u00a0 This is Christianity in real life.\u00a0 It\u2019s gritty.\u00a0 Philemon was faced with a very real challenge.\u00a0 You have to know that his humanness wanted to throw the book at Onesimus.\u00a0 Chain him up, brow beat him, turn him over to the authorities. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then\u2026there is Christ.&nbsp; We all have those moments.&nbsp; Those forks in our road that force us to say, I either believe this or I don\u2019t.&nbsp; I either want to be Christ-like or I don\u2019t.&nbsp; What did Philemon choose?&nbsp; How would you have reacted? &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for Paul, and as I read his letter again, I may have been a little harsh in the welcome.&nbsp; Yes, there are a couple of places that Paul was a little manipulative.&nbsp; But at the end of the day, I think this appeal was heartfelt.&nbsp; I think he really did believe that Onesimus had repented.&nbsp; I think he really did hope and pray that Philemon would choose forgiveness and grace.&nbsp; But that would not have been easy, especially if there was the least bit of pride involved.&nbsp; But I know that I know, this is where the rubber meets the road.&nbsp; This is living our faith.&nbsp; Let\u2019s pray.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Prayer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, Jesus, how we wrestle with You.\u00a0 This is how Jacob wrestled with God, isn\u2019t it?\u00a0 The push and pull, the less-of-me and more-of-You.\u00a0 Grant us success in our struggling, Lord.\u00a0 Thank You for Your patience as we wrestle with You.\u00a0 Help us to always choose Your way.\u00a0 Amen.<br><br>Thank you for joining me here today.\u00a0 I pray God will grow in you what has been planted and watered here.\u00a0 In this time of unprecedented struggle worldwide, we can look to God for guidance and comfort.\u00a0 Be sensitive to those in your circle of influence who need a word of encouragement and invite them to join us.\u00a0 If you like this show, it would be great if you give it a five-star review.\u00a0 Don&#8217;t forget to subscribe wherever you get your podcasts.\u00a0 See you right here tomorrow.\u00a0 Be well!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unless otherwise noted, all Scripture quotations are taken from the Christian Standard Bible(r), Copyright (c) 2017 by Holman Bible Publishers.
