Exodus 21:1-11 - The Book of the Covenant - Slavery in the Bible
What does the Bible say about Slavery? This week we look at Exodus 21:1-11 which holds the ordinances for the Israelites on how to deal with their Hebrew slaves (Jews that were slaves within the Jewish camp). To better understand what the Bible has to say on the subject we additionally look at Leviticus 25:39-43 and Deuteronomy 15:12-18.
Slavery was a common practice of all people groups in Moses' day as well as in Jesus’ day. In this study, we look at what Jesus has to say to us in how we treat one another and how we ought to serve Him, as a bondslave, a slave by choice.
The Bible is not a political book, it tells God’s people how they ought to interact with each other and with Him. That call is clear, regardless of our station in life, we are to put God first in everything and lift up everyone around us higher than ourselves. Slave or free we are to work for everyone as working for the Lord, and lift others above ourselves.
