The Book of Philemon is more than just a letter to the man who owned a slave named Onesimus. Because it is in the canon of Scripture, it is a letter to us about what can be expected from a believer. One character needed to give forgiveness; the other needed to ask for forgiveness. Just as Paul was the mediator who brokered that situation by reminding Philemon of a debt he owed him, Christ is our Mediator who can remind a holy God that our debt is paid in full by His work on Calvary.

God in charge of - in control of a pagan king? Can it be? God can use anyone as a tool to accomplish His will. We see that in King Cyrus of Persia. We also see God in charge of - in control of Ezra, a scribe and priest in Aaron's line. He served in spite of difficulties. Do we let Him take charge of us?

Our goal is to do some social learning as we perform an examination of some of the kings in Judah's history. We realize they had opportunity and responsibility, but they lost track of those God-given things. We want to stay on track, learn from these examples...these men whose lives God had recorded for our benefit, so we can finish well.

Can we relate to II Kings where we find a nation in rebellion, disobedient to God? Oh, how the Bread of Life wants to satisfy the hunger within us for truth and hope in uncertain times! May we truly serve the Rejected King and acknowledge His Word as the light for our path so that we can walk in His will.

Israel didn't want a theocracy, so God gave them kings. Many made bad decisions, married to form political alliances that they thought would provide protection, and failed to worship the One True God. David wanted more from his son. Our heavenly Father wants more from His children also. Let's not fall in step with those around us, but follow in His steps.

While in a Roman jail, the Apostle Paul called himself a prisoner of Jesus Christ. He did not say he was a prisoner of Rome. He was acknowledging that God is sovereign. While in prison, he wrote what is commonly known as the prison epistles. God provided the time and means whereby this apostle could leave written instructions for the saints of all ages. The book of Ephesians has much to offer.
