I am so sorry to hear about your dad. Indeed, he is in a far better place, but I am grateful for getting to know him when I had the chance. He had a lovely sense of humor that I will not forget. My mom passed away in November from cancer and because I live in England, I was not there in time to say goodbye. I thank God for answering my prayer that she would go peacefully and that my brother said all the things that I wanted to say. I pray God keeps carrying you, keeps sustaining you and brings you those moments of refreshment which we all so desperately need. Hugs, Jennifer Tim, I just read this.

Superb! Let me add from other source - Bondservant means to labor without wages. That's how we serve God, His Church and the world for free. You presented it very well. Superb!

Think more indentured servant. The way I relate that verse to modern life is to work for my employer as I would if Christ himself were my employer. And I don't see anywhere that it says they couldn't seek their freedom. Mike slaves in that time were not quite the same as our understanding of slave. Think more indentured servant.

Does this mean that those who are legal slaves should treat their servitude as if they were in servitude to christ? In other words, slaves should not seek freedom from their masters?
