Philemon is the shortest letter in the New Testament, but that does not make it insignificant. Paul’s letter to Philemon was written during his imprisonment in Rome around AD 60-62 - a similar time to when Colossians was written. This letter is Paul’s personal plea for a slave, Onesimus, who “belonged” to Philemon, but he had stolen from Philemon and ran away. He then met Paul and had come to faith, so Paul wrote to Philemon, re-introducing him and asking him to forgive his brother.
Philemon shows us the heart of the gospel. When we come to God in repentance and faith, He gives us a new status and life and welcomes us as if we were Christ. This letter demonstrates grace, tact, and a profound demonstration of Christ's power and true Christian fellowship in action.
