God's Word: Philemon

 God's Word: Philemon by ric gustafson

The book was written by the Apostle Paul. The book was written around AD 63. The book talks about Paul begging mercy for a runaway slave. The slave had converted to Christianity. Philemon was a fellow labourer of Paul's. Philemon helped fellow believers with love and generosity. Paul asked Philemon to take back and forgive a runaway slave. His name was Onesimus. Paul wrote to Philemon to receive this runaway slave as himself. This letter is the shortest of Paul's. We are called to forgive.
