0:00.0	The You're going to do you.
0:13.0	Do you do you do you do you do
0:15.0	do you do There are two simple words we often overlook or take for granted when we're reading the Bible,
0:31.8	the two words in Christ. Those words are
0:35.1	packed with power and today on Truth for Life weekend we'll take a closer look
0:39.3	at how these two words can make the seemingly impossible possible.
0:44.4	Alistair Beg is teaching from the closing verses in the book of Philemon.
0:49.7	In the interests of clarity and brevity I want to gather our thoughts simply around
0:58.9	four imperatives which make up Paul's appeal. And the first of these is Welcome Onesimus. If your eyes are
1:09.5	open at your text you will see in verse 17 he says so if you consider me a partner
1:16.0	welcome him as you would welcome me back in verse 13, Anesimus is said to have fulfilled the role of Phileiman to Paul,
1:30.0	and here he is now fulfilling the role of Paul to Phileiman. I know I can't get there.
1:37.2	To receive the welcome you would give me, so give it instead to Onesimus. Secondly, not only welcome Onesimus, but I want you to
1:49.7	charge it to me, charge it to me. If you consider me a partner and he does, and if he's done
1:55.2	anything wrong, verse 18 and he has, then charge it to my account. Any debt that has been incurred I will cover. And then almost humorously at the end of
2:10.9	that verse he says now I'm not going to mention the fact that you owe me your very self.
2:18.0	And by not mentioning it, of course he mentions it.
2:21.0	I don't want to mention this, he says, thereby mentioning it. He knows what he's doing.
2:27.6	He never expects to have to pay the charge because Fy Lehman understands that that which he owes to Paul is his very life.
2:37.0	And this is the verse that makes clear to us that Paul was used not only to see Onesimus become a follower of Jesus, but also to see Phileiman become a follower of Jesus.
2:47.6	And what Paul is saying is, I'm sure that I can appeal to you on this basis, and I want you to know that I will cover everything but I'm not
2:55.2	going to mention the fact that really when push comes to shove you owe your entire existence to me.
