The Faithful Slave

Exodus 21:1–11 is a passage that deals with slavery, a reality we instinctively recoil from. But what does this ancient teaching have to do with us today, personally? It challenges us to examine our own hearts, where we often resist belonging to anyone but ourselves and mistake autonomy for true freedom.

In this text, the Lord defines servitude as ordered and good, exposes our resistance to rightful ownership, and points us to Christ, the Servant who became a servant for us and for our salvation. Hear how the gospel reframes authority, service, and freedom under a good and gracious Master.
