"We wait for the blessed hope and appearance of the glory of our great God and Savior, Messiah Yeshua.

He gave Himself for us so that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and so that He might purify for Himself a chosen people, zealous for good deeds."
(Tit 2:13-14 TLV)

"Who is my neighbor?"

Yeshua flips this question around and lays the burden on us.

WE CAN BE THE NEIGHBOR who lends his hands in the service of others. Even when we can expect nothing in return.

The burden becomes whether WE will be the neighbor to others rather than waiting for them to be the neighbor to us.

Luke 10:25-37

Biblical slavery is nothing like the slavery seen in much of the world today, especially in Africa and Asia. It was intended as a tool for personal reform and recovery, not for exploitation. A Hebrew master must never be cruel, abusive, or tyrannical. His goal ought to be to make his slaves into respectable, self-sufficient Hebrews that must be released in the seventh year after six years of service.

A poor Hebrew who sold himself to a foreign master must be released in the seventh year also, but may be redeemed at any time by a fellow Hebrew.

Leviticus 25

For they are my servants, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt; they shall not be sold as slaves.
#leviticus 25:42

Messiah #yeshua, King of Israel, is the true master of every believer, and any authority over a believer can only be delegated temporarily.

Does the Bible condone slavery? That depends on what you mean by "condone". Like death, divorce, and polygamy, slavery is available in God's Law as a last-ditch tool for addressing some tough problems.

Slavery also makes a useful analogy when teaching about relationships and debt. See Paul's letters, for example. This doesn't mean that slavery is noble or desirable or that God necessarily wants anyone to be enslaved. Allowed doesn't mean encouraged.
