A Restored And New Type Of Relationship!


‘A Restored And New Type Of Relationship.’
Philemon 1:15-17.
a)     Philemon 1:15. It seemed to Apostle Paul the Onesimus had departed from Philemon for a while with a purpose.
b)    Philemon 1:15. Philemon could receive Onesimus back forever.
c)     Philemon 1:16. Onesimus was a changed man:- 
1-   No longer a mere slave but a Beloved Brother.
2-   A Brother to both Philemon and Paul.
3-   A Brother in human works.
4-   A Brother in the Lord.
d)    Philemon 1:17. Apostle Paul asked Philemon if he counted Paul as a partner, would he please receive Onesimus back as if he was Paul himself.
