Christ Transforming Social Itclationships. Letters are always interesting, anil especially so when they bring good news. The brief epistle to Philemon is one of unusual charm. Paul writes to Philemon, a Christian brother in Colosse, to inform him that ho is sending back to him Onesimus, who was apparently Philemon's brother (v. 1C) but who had through misfortune and sin (vv. ] 18, 19) become a slave. Evidently, | he had stolen from Philemon what he needed to enable him to run | away, and had ultimately come to j Rome. Having reached this great city ho no doubt was satisfied that he had placed himself beyond Hie reach of j anyone who knew him. Rut he had reckoned without God, who not only knew where he was (see Ps. 189: 7-12) but also what he needed. He 1 is brought into touch with the imprisoned apostle, Paul, and through his ministry the fugitive slave becomes a "brother beloved in the Lord" (v. 10). How marvelous is the grace of God. and how patiently he deals with those who attempt to flee even from his love! Our study of this epistle centers around four great words. I. Appreciation (vv. 4-8). After an introductory word Paul j speaks of his love for Philemon, his | appreciation of the latter's hospitaii- j ty. his fellowship, and his faith. Is Paul flattering his friend in j order that he may grant his request? Certainly not, but lie is expressing his true feelings toward a faithful brother. We need a re viv:il of Christian courtesy and ap- ' preciation of one another. The man who thinks that lie must i show that he is true to Christ by treating others with boorish rudeness needs to learn a new lesson from the Lord himself, and from his Word. II. Consideration (vv. 9-14). Paul could have kept silent, and encouraged Onesimus to remain with him. He needed help (v. 13) but without, the consent of Philemon he would not keep Onesimus (v. 14). At the same time he reminds Philemon very tactfully that he owes them both loving consideration. We have here a striking illustration of the candor and considerate thoughtfulness which should characterize the dealings of Christians with one another. We need to put away careless trampling upon the rights of others in order that our work may go forward. HI. Brotherhood fvv. 15-16). The fact of regeneration docs not change a man's social status so far as the world is concerned, but within the circle of God's hbusehold he becomes a "brother beloved." Let us look, less at the accidents of circumstance, education, or birth, which differ and rather magnify the family relationship, for all v/ho are born again are brethren. IV. Partnership (vv. 17-20). Paul counted Philemon not onlv a benefactor and a brother, but a partner in the great enterprise of God on earth. Partners share both joys and sorrows, gains and losses. They stand by in the hour of need, they plan and labor, weep and rejoice together. One wonders what might be accomplished for Christ if all Christians would accord one another even the ordinary considerations of partnership. It should be noted in closing that verses 17 and 18 present an illustration of the great doctrine of imputation. The wrong of Onesimus was to be charged to Paul, and Paul's standing with Philemon is the basis of his acceptance of Onesimus. Even so the righteousness of Christ is imputed to the believer, because our sins have been laid upon him. What a wonderful Saviour! A ATnflmr'c f.nvr. No language can^-xpress the power and beauty and heroism and majesty of a mol'-Vs love.
