Today we read about Philemon. Philemon was probably a wealthy man and a supporter of Paul’s ministry. He was also a member of the Colossian church. This letter was written by Paul as an appeal to Philemon to forgive his runaway slave, Onesimus. This book is about showing grace to others as God has shown grace to us. The words of Paul can be as applicable to us in our lives today as it was to Philemon back then.
