“Masters…”

“Masters…”

Blessings folk!

We today have a hard time with the thought of slaves.

Slavery has been a reality of mankind since Genesis.

There are those enslaved.
There are those free.

Many are the quotes about such…here is one of the more famous and poignant…

"None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free."
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Most of us believe that we are free…in a political sense.
We are not.
We are actually more enslaved than those upon whom we look back and call slaves.
(Learn true, accurate history)

We have seen what the Lord said to slaves.
They were to live “as unto the Lord”.

Now, read the next verse…

Eph 6:9

And masters,
do the same things to them,
and give up threatening,
knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven,
and there is no partiality with Him.

The Lord now speaks to “masters”.

He tells them to…

  • Give up threatening
  • Know that both master/slave have the same Master in heaven
  • Know that there is no partiality with the Master in Heaven.

I intentionally skipped the first command.
“Do the same things to them…”
We will look at that next time.

For now, whether master or slave, do all unto the Lord.
Know that we serve the same Master.
Know that there is no partiality in the Kingdom.
We are OneAnother.
