A short letter to a friend
Manage episode 316123902 series 2850581
Philemon is a short, personal letter that Paul and Timothy wrote to a friend and fellow worker. It is interesting that Paul does not mention his being an apostle in this epistle but rather greets Philemon as their dear friend.
I strongly believe that friendship is the basic building block of effective and fruitful teamwork and meaningful community.
The gospel is advanced by groups of friends who work together for a season and continue to care for each other when that time of closer collaboration comes to an end. I was struck again by the message of this letter written by friends to friends.
