Christians see the world through a different lens. Jesus has changed everything about how we view work, community, society, friends, enemies, joy, hardship, and just about everything else. Because of Jesus, our community becomes our center for evangelism, our hardships become opportunities to honor Christ, and even our slaves become our brothers in Christ. But this concept covers much more than just these subjects, the big point of the letter of Philemon is a call to Christian character, motivated by what Christ has done FOR us, not motivated by what we DESERVE.
