“If you purchase a Hebrew slave, he is to work six years; but in the seventh, he is to be given freedom without having to pay anything.”
Exodus 21:2 CJB
Interesting that the first law is to treat slaves with decency! Why? The Hebrews were mistreated slaves for four hundred years and God has no desire for men to be slaves, that’s why we have freedom in Him!
“What the Messiah has freed us for is freedom! Therefore, stand firm, and don’t let yourselves be tied up again to a yoke of slavery.”
Galatians 5:1 CJB
Adonai has freed us from slavery so we can be free from the bondage of sin! So we no longer have to be bound up and slaves of sin! Yeshua has set us free!
“Come to Me, all of you who are struggling and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, because I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30 CJB
God is telling us that His way is easy and we are always better off doing all things His way!
So let’s walk in His ways today!
