Slave or Servant

I was reading a passage in Galatians the other day and Paul was speaking to them about who they were and what they believed they were. As I was thinking on this it occurred to me that there are numerous passages in the bible that speak of being a slave and being a servant and a lot of those passages speak of being a slave and servant together. I always thought that they were one in the same, but I found out they aren’t.

A Slave Has To,
A Servant Gets To
A Slave Does The Minimum Requirement,
A Servant Does the Maximum
A Slave Goes One Mile,
A Servant Goes Two
A Slave Feels Robbed, is Bound and Fights for His Rights
A Servant Gives, is Free and Lays Down His Rights

So which are you? Slave or a Servant?




Matthew 20:28 (Message Bible)
Whoever wants to be great must become a servant. Whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave. That is what the Son of Man has done: He came to serve, not be served—and then to give away his life in exchange for the many who are held hostage."


Have a Wonderful week in the Lord!
