The Triumph of Humility

Though not always the case, in the Christian life, we are to reflect the humility of Jesus Christ. We reflect Christ in our actions toward others, including spouses, parents, children, etc. There are, of course, times when boldness must be shown, but always with grace.

As we will see in these next few verses of Philemon, we notice that Paul very well could have exercised his authority, as an elder, and as an Apostle. Yet he chose the way of humility.
