Exodus 21:5‭-‬6 And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever. ‬‬

I know this title may not go down well with some people; but that is simply because they do not know the scriptures nor the power of God and hence they are in error.

Our opening scripture is God's law concerning a Hebrew slave. And according to the law, after the slave has served his master for six years, in the seventh year he is allowed to go free, but not with his wife and children if it is the master who gave him the wife.

But if the slave says, I love my master, my wife and children, thus I don't want to go, then the master takes the slave to judges at the door (you remember the blood of the passover lamb was sprinkled on the doorposts) and his ear will be pierced and he is made a slave forever. Isaiah 53:5 says, But He was pierced through for our transgressions….. (NASB).

This kind of slave is called a "bond slave", indicating that he is a slave to his master forever out of his own will; this is a slave in love. And this slave is a picture of Jesus. Jesus loved His Father, the church His bride and her children.

And just as the slave is brought to the door to be pierced, Jesus was brought before the great Judge, at the cross, to be pierced for our transgressions, when He shed His precious blood for the remission of our sins.

Apostle John in the book of Revelation saw Jesus in His glorified state as one wearing a linen girdle, something meant for slaves in Bible days. Even Jesus in His highly exalted state is still a Servant, serving His Father and you His eternal bride. No wonder the Father has given Him a name that is above all names. Jesus is Lord! Hallelujah!
