Philemon: The Richness of Reconciliation in Christ

Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John’s Lutheran Church in Luverne, MN, joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study the Epistle Philemon. Paul makes a plea with Philemon to be reconciled with a former bondservant Onesimus to be seen no longer as a slave but “as a brother in Christ.” Paul shows us a way for Christians to be “ambassadors of reconciliation” towards one another as Christ has reconciled us to the Father (2 Corinthians 5:18). “O LORD, help us to reconcile with others so our hearts may be refreshed with You and those whom You have died for. In Christ, Amen.”
