4. Jeremiah 34:8-16 records how the Zedekiah and the people of Jerusalem obeyed the Lord and freed their slaves only to change their mind and bring them back into slavery once again. God‘s people were required to free their slaves every seventh year as a reminder of the freedom God had provided them from bondage in Egypt. How do you as a child of God through faith in Christ Jesus relate to the concepts of slavery and freedom? See also Galatians 4:1-7.
