Tucked away in the pages of the New Testament is a short one chapter letter called Philemon.  If you aren't looking for it you might not even see it.  The letter is written by the Apostle Paul to one of the leaders, Philemon, in the church in Colossae. The letter is sent to help Philemon respond well to a life situation he is facing, one where a slave of his has stolen from him and then run away. The slave, Onesimus, encounters Paul, accepts Christ and is now being sent back to his owner. Not an easy situation for Onesimus to face and an even trickier one for Philemon to navigate.  How would you respond?  Well, that's what Paul's letter is all about.
