We are finishing up our series on "Set Me Free" by looking at God as slave. In our world of rights and entitlements, we are repulsed at such a concept. Slavery is something we seek to abolish. It is not something we willingly volunteer for. Yet if Christ is our model then we must engage in this very attitude. But how does enslaving ourselves make us free? Let's get real, all this talk of selfless humility and being slaves sounds like the very thing we want to avoid. I guess it comes down to who are we going to trust? Who are we going to believe? Before you answer those questions, take a deep look around you and see what is happening in a world where selfish pride eats away at people's souls. Take a deep look inside yourself, what do you see?
