In the second talk in our mini-series on Paul's letter to Philemon, we piece together the puzzle of how Paul walks the talk of relational leadership in this deceptively graceful letter. And we ask ourselves the question, 'So what?'. So what if Paul, two thousand years ago, facilitated the reconciliation of the former slave, Onesimus, and his former master, Philemon? How does that speak to us today as followers of Jesus Christ? What does it mean for how we treat each other today as brothers and sisters in Christ? The clue to these questions lies in realising one shocking truth - we are all Onesimus! We are all Onesimus. We are all runaway slaves and we all need a second chance!
