Letter to Philemon.

Philemon.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—Paul as"a Friend.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP-
IC—The place of Friendship in the
Christian Life.
I. Paul Praying with the Ephesian
Elder* (Acts 20:36^38).
This incident reveals the real spirit
of fellowship which had developed
between Paul and the elders of the
church at Ephesus. Knowing the seri
ousness of his mission to Jerusalem
and the probability that he would
never see them again, he asked these
elders to meet hint at Miletus, that he
might give them. the proper instruc
tions so as to enable them to meet
the issues which confronted them. Be
fore leaving them he knelt down and
prayed with them.
II. Concerning Certain Ones at
Rom# (Rom. 16:1-4);
1. Phoebe cotomrtsided to the Chris
tians af Rome. Phoebe was a Chris
tian woman from the church at
Cenchrea who was making a visit to
Rome. Her business is not defined,
but it was such that he could ask the
Christians not only to receive her, but
to render to her the prdfrer assistance
therein.
2. He asks that the Christians
sroet Priscilla and Aquila (vv. 3, 4).
The ground upon which this greeting
was urged was their own loyalty to
himself. #
III. Concerning Apaphroditus (Phil.
2:25-30).
Not being able to revisit the church
at Philippi, Paul sent his friend Apa
phroditus to minister to them.N
IV. Paul Writes to Philemon.
Philemon was a member of the
.church at Colosse. Onesimus, his
slave, wronged him; perhaps stole
from him and fled to Rome and there
came under Paul’s influence and was
converted. Paul sent Onesimus back
to Philemon with this letter. This is
one of the most tender and beaut
letters ever written and the first
slavery petition ever penned.
1. The salutation (w. 1-3).
FI is aim was to touch Philemon’s
heart; lie, therefore, refers to himself
as a prisoner and links Philemon to
himself as a fellow-laborer in the
gospel of truth.
2. Philemon’s reputation (vv. 4-7).
(1) His faith and love toward the
Lord and nil the saints (v. 5).
His earnest desire was that this
faith bear fruit in Christ Jesus.
(2) His ministry to the saints (v.
7). Philemon generously ministered
of his substance to'the poor saints.
3. Paul's request (vv. 8-10).
He requested Philemon to receive
back Onesimus, the runaway slave,
as a brother in Christ. .
(1) Beseeches instead of commands
(w. 8-10). Though conscious of his
right to enjoin, he pleads as a prison
er of Jesus Christ, for loye’s sake.
(2) He pleads on the grounds of
grace (vv. 11-14). He admitted that
Onesimus had been unprofitable, had
forfeited all claim upon Philemon,
and that on grounds of justice his
plea might well be rejected, and yet.
because Onesimus was begotten in his
bonds (v. 10), was in a real sense
part of his own suffering nature
(v. 12), he ventured to suggest that
lie should he accepted.
(3) Paul desired that Onesimns be
received back, not ns a slave, but ns
a brother in Christ (vv. 15, 10). Here
is flie real fugitive slave law. Paul
never attacked slavery, though It was
contrary to Christianity and therefore
hateful to him. but emphasized the
principles which destroyed it. The
wise thing to do is to get men and
women regenerated and thus trans
form society, instead of seeking
change by revolution.
4. The basis upon which Onesimus
was to be received (vv. 17-21).
The debt of guilty Onesimus to be
put to the account of Paul and the
merit of P-aul to be put to the account
of Onesimus. This is a fine Illustra
tion of the atonement of Christ. What
ever wrongs we have committed, debts
incurred—all our shortcomings are
debited to Him. Jesus Christ, on be
half of the whole universe, said to
God, “Put that to my account.” Onesi-
mus was taken back, not ns a run
away slave, but as a beloved brother
in Christ.
5. Paul requests lodging (vv. 22-25).
He expected a speedy release from
imprisonment and purposed to sojourn
with Philemon. What a welcome lie
must have received!

What They Realize
Children may not understand all
the readings used nor thoughts ex
pressed in the family worship hour,
but they do feel that this Is a time
when the whole family enters a holy
place. God is made real, and family
life is made a part of His plan and
a thing within His care.—The Main
