Philemon
The short and beautiful letter to Philemon tells the story
of our redemption through the actual account of a runaway
slave called Onesimus. Onesimus was a slave owned by
Philemon who had fled from his master, only to later become
a believer and friend of Paul. Paul sent him back to
Philemon with this accompanying letter. Paul not only tells
of the transformation in this young man which he had
begotten to a new life (v10), but also offers to pay any
outstanding debt on his behalf.
In just the same way, we were slaves who had fled in
rebellion from our Master. We were then begotten to a new
life and a way was made for us to return to our Master, all
our debts being paid in full. We can hear Christ agreeing to
take our place and to have all our sin imputed to Him. He
took our place in death, but He gives us His place in life.
“If thou count me therefore a partner, receive him as
myself” (v. 17). By grace, we now have the standing of
Christ before God.
