The King decreed something good – don't hold fellow Hebrews as slaves. It was in the law and was not the will of our King (Jesus) to hold other brothers and sisters in slavery. So the people obeyed the king and let all of their Hebrew slaves, their fellow partakers in the covenant of God, go in freedom. After they let them go, they enslaved them again. They couldn't handle letting people be free because of their personal cost or their perceived rights.
I can't help but think about letting people go from our jail, our criticism, our punishment, out from under our control. Not only does God want us to forgive and free people, but He wants us to let people be free to be themselves! Free to not conform to what we think they should be like. Life is too short to spend our time running other people's lives. It is an arrogant spirit that thinks it knows best for everyone.
Oh God remove my pride that thinks I know best for everyone. Lord you know best, you handle your servants! Me, I'll major in setting them free!
