Jesus said to the Jews who believed in him, “You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teaching. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They responded, “We are Abraham’s children; we’ve never been anyone’s slaves. How can you say that we will be set free?” Jesus answered, “I assure you that everyone who sins is a slave to sin. A slave isn’t a permanent member of the household, but a son is. Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you really will be free. I know that you are Abraham’s children, yet you want to kill me because you don’t welcome my teaching. I’m telling you what I’ve seen when I am with the Father, but you are doing what you’ve heard from your father.” (John 8:31-38, CEB)
“We are Abraham’s children; we’ve never been anyone’s slaves. How can you say that we will be set free?” Short memory?
Or I guess those speaking to Jesus probably never have been slaves to anyone, but their ancestors were. Israelites were slaves in Egypt. Moses went and asked Pharaoh to release the slaves and this ended in the Passover. It is part of their history that they celebrate every year. They were slaves.
We are free when we live in the love God gives us and share that in everything we do.
Love like Jesus and be free.
