We cry out for justice when someone has wronged us. Maybe not verbally, but in our thinking we probably do at times, certainly our children do. Maybe you heard a rumor that someone said something negative about you and you don't believe it to be true. Possibly someone overcharged you, or your server mishandles your order. Possibly, you score low on an assignment that you poured yourself into and fully expected a higher grade and your inner man wants to give your professor a piece of your mind! What about when you sinfully argue with your spouse or children and some things are said that are pretty hurtful. However it may play out in your situation, we so often expect things to be fair and we become indignant when they are not. Philemon was wronged by his slave Onesimus, yet the Apostle Paul is asking Philemon to forgive Onesimus. In some upcoming posts, we'll look into this situation and see how it plays out with Paul, Philemon and Onesimus and we'll apply it to our lives.
