When two brothers in Christ face conflict, what should we do? What is our responsibility? Should we step in, or let them work it out themselves? In his letter to Philemon, Paul approaches not as an apostle but as a fellow brother in Christ. He trusts that Philemon will choose wisely-he just needs encouragement from someone he respects. Through this, Paul shows us a powerful way to love our neighbors that's often overlooked. As a mediator, he reflects Christ's own role. Here we see Christ-like compassion triumph once again!
