[草戊尚土靈修俱樂部] 三年讀經默想與題目 (草戊尚土) 100921有新意見。

Paul was an apostle and a senior. He should have asked Philemon to treat the fleeing slave with kindness, yet he hoped that Philemon did it out of his spontaneity. Paul said, "…although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, yet I appeal to you on the basis of love"(Phm 8-9). He set a good example in dealing with the argument between Christians.

After Onesimus became a Christian, his relationship with Philemon changed. They were not a master and a slave but brothers. Thus, they were equal in the Lord. "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus"(Ga 3:28). How we treat brothers and sisters reflects what attitude we hold toward the Lord.
