Lesson 70: The Relationships of a Runaway

Philemon is the fourth of Paul’s prison epistles, a brief and dynamic letter Onesimus took in his hand when he went back to his master, a wealthy believer. Although a short letter, it is long on its social application and its social implications. The fact that God has made us creatures of choice who make deliberate choices seems to be very important to Paul. Jesus Christ is the only Solution we have to our personnel or relational problems.
