Revelation of God the Son

Philemon 1:1–25 (ESV)

1 Paul, a prisoner for Christ Jesus, and Timothy our brother,To Philemon our beloved fellow worker

What does Philemon reveal about what God does in my place and on my behalf (the work of the Son)? God the Son reconciles me with God (Colossians 2:14) and makes it possible for me, a Gentile believer, to be part of God’s family and an inheritor of the promises God made to Abraham. This reconciliation has taken place through his blood. He lived the perfect life in my place and died the death which I deserve.
