Aliens to Ambassadors

How could everything when it comes to God’s kingdom NOT be amazing?

We’re dealing with an infinite and eternal Being. Thus if He deigns to bless ones who are finite and temporal, that blessing will necessarily be “abundantly beyond all that we can ask or think!”

Our text could be lumped with the many other passages which speak of God blessing us beyond our comprehension. Paul here has penned a letter to Philemon regarding one of his runaway slaves, Onesimus.

See, God brought redemption to this runaway; a redemption which radically altered his life and his relationships. Now as we have seen, the text before us outlines the many changes which resulted from Onesimus’ redemption. And yet, as this passage is inspired by the Spirit of God, we understand that herein also is a picture of the redemption each of us has received in Christ at the cross!
