Day 350: Philemon 1 Philemon 1 Reading Schedule: Paul's Request for Onesimus [Summary] This book is a letter from Paul to Philemon, the owner of a runaway slave living in Colossae. The book movingly depicts the ethics of love that even slaves must tolerate and accept each other in Christ. The content of this book implies that the true spiritual pillars of Christianity are reconciliation and forgiveness. Furthermore, this spirit of reconciliation and forgiveness is derived from the true forgiveness and divine love of Christ, who chose to die atoning death by offering his own body to save mankind, who were destined to die eternally because of sin. The content can be divided into greetings (verses 1-3), Paul's gratitude to Philemon (verses 4-7), requests for Onesimus (verses 8-22), and concluding greetings (verses 23-25). In short, this book exhorts that all believers who have experienced the infinite grace of Christ have a responsibility to unconditionally forgive their present wrongdoings, regardless of class, status, gender, or racial differences. Paul praised Philemon’s faith, which was a source of joy and thanksgiving to many believers, and asked for forgiveness for Onesimus, who had been his servant and then ran away. Paul asked Philemon to accept Onesimus as a brother, suggesting a religious way to overcome the system of slavery. Paul put the principle of atonement into practice by offering to take Onesimus’ place. Hebrews 1: The Great Christ [Summary] The writer of Hebrews says that in the past God sent prophets to proclaim the word, but in the last days he sent his Son, who is the exact representation of his own being, to proclaim the word of power (vv. 1-3). Next, the writer cites seven passages of the Old Testament to compare angels with Jesus Christ, emphasizing that Christ is far greater than angels (vv. 4-14). This chapter is the introductory part of Hebrews and emphasizes the divinity of Jesus Christ. In particular, by comparing Jesus Christ with angels, it gives those who read the word confidence in Christology. Through this chapter, the writer of Hebrews testifies that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is greater than prophets and angels. Hebrews 2: The Incarnation of Jesus Christ and the Saints [Summary] The author exhorts us to strive to keep the gospel given through Christ (verses 1-4). The author also emphasizes that although humans are currently lower than angels, this is only for a short time and that they will eventually become more precious than angels. He argues that Jesus Christ came to earth as a human being, who was lower than angels for a short time, in order to solve all the problems of people’s sins and make them more precious than angels. Ultimately, the incarnation of Christ is not an eternal humiliation, but rather God’s plan to raise other humans to a higher status than angels through the incarnation (verses 5-18). This chapter consists of exhortation (verses 1-4) and commentary (verses 5-18). The author of Hebrews is very concerned about those who are trying to apostatize due to persecution from outside the church, and emphasizes the need to hold firmly to the salvation through Christ. He continues to explain about Jesus Christ, who is the center of great salvation.
