1 | Ref to love slave in N.T. Is there any? | Ex 21:5 | ceebee7 | 164335 | ||
Love slave is mentioned in the O.T. (Ezekiel I think) Is there anywhere in the N.T. that refers to the same or similar reference? | ||||||
2 | Ref to love slave in N.T. Is there any? | Ex 21:5 | mark d seyler | 164336 | ||
Hi ceebee7, Is this the verse you are thinking of? Exodus 21:5 "But if the slave plainly says, 'I love my master, my wife and my children; I will not go out as a free man,' If so, I am not aware of a similar reference in the New Testament, however, the Greek word "doulos" is often used refering to Christian, and I have heard many teachers say that this is the "bond-slave", or slave by choice as described in Exodus. That seems to fit! I hope this helps! Love in Christ, Mark |

Hi Mark. Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Yes that was the verse, and you have confirmed my understanding that no such verse or quote exists in the NT. God bless. Chris. |

Hi Chris. Let me share something with you that the Lord showed me when I first read Ex 21:1-6, and also Deut 15:12-17. It was pointed out to me that the master is a type of God the Father, the servant a type of Jesus, the wife that the master gives to the servant, a type of the church (the bride of Christ). When the servant says "I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free". Then the master in effect says "you know that there is a price to pay don't you?" "yes I know that" says the servant. Very well then says the master, and he takes the servant to God ("the Judges", Amplified Bible), and from Judgment to a place symbolic of execution, the vertical wooden door post, the servant standing with his back to it, allows an awl (picture of a nail) to be driven right through his flesh into the woodwork. Jesus will serve the master forever, see 1st Cor 15:28. |
