The Book of Philemon 

Reconciliation: The Restoration of Relationship by Sacrificial Love

Forgiveness is the foundation; reconciliation is the goal

You may be useful, but not reconciled. (Philemon 4–11)

God doesn’t do forgiveness for you. (Philemon 12–16)

Paul embodies the meaning of the cross: (Philemon 17–20)

  • Reconciles slave to master (v.16)

  • Takes punishment upon himself (v.18)

  • Channels love into new life (v.10, 19)

The culmination of practical Christian living is reconciliation.
