W1 | Forgiveness : Onesimus

REFERENCE BIBLE VERSES

Philemon 1:17-21 (NIV) | So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. If he has done you any wrong or owes you anything, charge it to me. I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand. I will pay it back—not to mention that you owe me your very self. I do wish, brother, that I may have some benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ. Confident of your obedience, I write to you, knowing that you will do even more than I ask.

Colossians 3:12-13 (NIV) |Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

OBJECTIVE

Learning from the story of Onesimus and Philemon, true forgiveness both to self and to others can only be obtained through Christ who has first forgiven us all. The reconciliation and transformation only comes from God.
