Rev. Lucas Witt, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Baltimore, Maryland, joins host Rev. AJ Espinosa to study Exodus 21.
“He shall serve six years, and in the seventh he shall go out free, for nothing. If he comes in single, he shall go out single; if he comes in married, then his wife shall go out with him.” Exodus 21 by no means endorses slavery. God rather patiently approaches us where we are at, and His law restrains and curbs the callousness of the human heart. Throughout the chapter, God shows that His love and His gift of family trump our human institutions, even as we are transformed by Christ’s exodus that lets us “go out” from slavery to sin, death, and evil.
