The Gospel According to Philemon: Receive him as me....I will pay

In an introduction to Philemon, this overlooked gem of a letter is treated somewhat as a play in order to gain an understanding of the characters and the circumstances involved.

More importantly, the drama of this letter is used to paint a clear and heart-stirring picture of justification. And how Christ is our Surety and Substitute--paying the debt that we could never pay while reckoning to us His perfect righteousness that we could never earn.
