Scott Hamilton walks us through Paul's personal and power-packed letter to Philemon, showing how it embodies the gospel’s core doctrines of reconciliation and substitution. This isn't just a private note from Paul—it’s a public testimony about the radical demands of Christian love, the reordering of social status in Christ, and what true forgiveness looks like when it’s lived out in the flesh. Paul doesn’t just urge Philemon to forgive a runaway slave—he steps in, offers to pay the debt, and models the atonement itself. This message reminds us that while the gospel is intensely personal, it’s never private—and your response to grace will always be seen by the world.
