<div class="SSN_title">"CHARGE IT."</div>
<div class="SSN_intro">Intro: Slavery was an accepted way of life in the Roman Empire. An estimated 60,000,000 slaves. They had no rights, total property of their masters. To run away was a capital offense, no trial. Your master could do with you as he pleased. Mutilate, kill or whatever. Often a runaway branded in forehead with "F".</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">I. PAUL'S RATIONALE, "PERHAPS HE DEPARTED FOR A SEASON THAT THOU SHOULDEST RECEIVE HIM FOREVER."</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. As Christians we do not look at life as accidental or happenstance.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. God has a purpose for good in all things that happen to me.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We can't always see the good.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. We often question.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. We seek to learn the lesson each experience is teaching us.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. We look for the purpose behind.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Philemon probably wondered why his slave ran away.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Paul is suggesting a probable cause.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">3. It's very good we don't order our lives.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Some apparently bad experiences turn out very good.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Sometimes the attractive opportunity is blocked and we complain.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. When you see the disaster that was averted, you give thanks.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. How foolish the teaching that declares you are to command God.</div>
<div class="SSN_level5">1. That puts you in control, not God.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">II. PAUL'S INTERCESSION.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. Receive him as myself.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Philemon looked up to Paul.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. He owed his salvation to Paul.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. No doubt he loved him deeply.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Paul is not asking that Onesimus be received again as a slave.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. Treat him as a brother in Christ.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. Treat him as an equal.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">c. Treat him as you would treat me.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. Charge to my account any debt, I will repay.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. Paul accepts full responsibility for any past debts.</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. He promises payment.</div>
<div class="SSN_rnum">III. WHAT BEAUTIFUL INSIGHT INTO TRUE INTERCESSION. WE ARE TOLD THAT CHRIST IS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER MAKING INTERCESSION FOR US.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">A. "Receive him as Myself."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. "We are "accepted in the Beloved."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. Even as the Father loved the Son and received Him into glory.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. The Father loves me in the Son and will receive me.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">b. I am accepted as Christ for I am in Christ Jesus.</div>
<div class="SSN_level2">B. "Whatever he owes, put it on My account."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">1. He was charged for my sin.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. "And God hath laid upon Him the iniquities..."</div>
<div class="SSN_level3">2. He paid my debt in full.</div>
<div class="SSN_level4">a. "There is therefore now no condemnation..."</div>
