Forgive Onesimus - E-book - ePub

Nelson Mandela said when he came out of prison, "As I walked out the door toward the gate that would lead to my freedom, I knew if I didn't leave my bitterness and hatred behind, I'd still be in prison." You've been severely harmed by someone, and you find it hard to forgive. I'm not sure how much suffering you've gone through. I'm not sure what it was, but as soon as you see that individual, you get resentful and hostile.
I understand how it hurts and how it feels. Are you aware that the sole remedy is "forgiveness"? You cannot learn how to "forgive" unless you discover how you have wronged the Lord Jesus Christ, who has pardoned you. This book tells the tale of Onesimus, a runaway slave who embezzled his master's funds before escaped to Rome. Onesimus converted to Christianity in Rome and was compelled to return to his master to ask for forgiveness.
