Philemon a believer on Colosse, owns a slave named Onesimus who steals from his owner and then runs away. But Onesimus meets Paul and through his ministry becomes a Christian. Now he is willing to return to his master. Paul writes this personal appeal to ask Philemon to accept Onesimus as a Christian brother, not as a slave. Read this letter as a case study in the cost of asking for forgiveness and of granting it.
