The Yoke of Slavery


I do not pretend to understand slavery and all the ramifications. However, in light of recent racial tensions in America, I wonder if those who were set free physically remain a slave in their minds and if they have passed that victimization on to future generations. In the early church believers obtained freedom in Christ, but they had to consciously resist their previous life of being under the law. Paul said, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery” (Gal 5:1 NIV).
