Episode notes
Freedom Secured By Lordship
- Paul reverses terms to show our liberation is tied to Jesus as Lord and our slavery to Jesus as Messiah.
- This switch secures our freedom from other lords while making servitude to Christ sweet and purposeful.
Liberty That Is Mercifully Limited
- Calling us "freedmen of the Lord" limits and secures our liberty because Christ's lordship outranks all other lords.
- Our freedom becomes mercifully limited because we remain not free from him but free from other masters.
Slavery Made Sweet By The Messiah
- Calling us "slaves of Christ" loosens and sweetens slavery because the Messiah rescues and offers peace and joy.
- The Messiah claims us to bring us from captivity into the open spaces of peace and satisfaction in him.
