In a very private and personal letter,the Apostle Paul writes to the beloved Philemon to receive back a runaway slave, Onesimus, who had since come to faith in Christ. Reminding Philemon of his debt to Paul and seeking the same grace for this fugitive, Paul paint a grand picture of rescuing grace and the debt we owe Jesus which we could never pay back. Grace reminds us that salvation is all from, about, and in Jesus Christ who still sets the captives free and pays our sin debt which we could never pay.

How do we respond to being wronged? Do we seek retribution, restitution, justice? In this passage of scripture a former slave, Onesimus, while on the run for theft from his master, Philemon, runs into the Apostle Paul and comes to faith in Christ. With this personal letter from Paul, we see the gospel of reconciliation and restoration on display. As much as we have been wronged, we have never been wronged as much as we have wronged Christ.
