There are many lessons and instructions in righteousness that we can glean from the book of Philemon, but the primary lesson is on reconciliation. Whether you look at the book of Philemon from the perspective of Onesimus as a Slave, Bondservant, or Brother, in life, we will have the opportunity to be the Onesimus who needs reconciliation, Philemon who can extend reconciliation, or Paul who can mediate reconciliation. Reconciliation…a skill and characteristic that God expects to see in us as His future Kings and Priests.
