Philemon is one of the shortest books in the Bible. It is a thank-you letter written by Paul to Philemon regarding Philemon’s servant Onesimus. Paul was in a prison cell somewhere in Rome and no one seemed to be able to find him. Philemon sent his servant, Onesimus, a man of dubious nature, to find out where Paul was in Rome so that Paul’s followers might minister to his needs. And he found him. And it changed his life. Through his developing relationship with Paul, he changed and became a loyal follower of Christ.
