ill: Inside My Slavery How Jesus most troubling parable finally made sense to me. Alec Hill/ AUGUST 13, 2014 The plot is simple. A small household employs a doulos—Greek for slave given how domestic bondage worked in Greco-Roman times. A jack-of-all-trades, the slave plows a field and tends sheep during his first shift, and cooks meals and cleans up during his second. The plot hinges on two questions: One, would the master invite the slave to sit down and eat? And two, would the master thank the slave for his work? At first blush, it seems the response to both questions should be yes. The slave has worked hard all day. He deserves a break. For the sake of manners, the master should express appreciation for his labors. But, biblically speaking, the correct answer to both questions is no. ALMOST MIDNIGHT WHERE I AM. I THANK GOD FROM THE DEPTHS OF MY HEART FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE HIM. MAY ALL I DO AND I AM BRING HIM THE UTMOST GLORY. youtu.be/uw04c7f5Hs8
