Philemon 1:10-11 – “…I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Formerly he was useless to you, but now he has become useful both to you and to me…”
The book of Philemon is really a short, personal letter to Philemon (a Christian in the first century) from the Apostle Paul. Often neglected by preachers today, the book contains some powerful lessons for us about the Christian life and our faith.
Matthew 24:46 - ”…It will be good for that servant whose master finds him doing so when he returns.”
Each week or month that passed brings us closer to our Blessed Hope, the coming of our Lord Jesus. We feel that we must make the most of the time we have remaining (see Ephesians 5:16). Time is running out for us to carry out everything the Lord wants us to do, and for those around us to receive the blessing of salvation through Christ.
