Pastor Trae Bumpus shares that Paul’s letter to Philemon appeals for his forgiveness and restoration of Onesimus, a runaway slave. In his appeal, he urges Philemon to welcome Onesimus back not as a slave, but as a beloved equal and brother in Christ. Paul also offers to pay back any money or debts that Onesimus owes Philemon. This letter serves as a beautiful example of how we are to forgive and restore broken relationships for the cause of Christ!
