It’s easy to say we are followers of Christ and miss what that entails. Paul said he was a doulos. Unlike a normal household servant, a doulos was a slave (yeah it’s Greek). And a slave had no rights. They were like property. Or like a CD player. If it messed up you could just chuck it. Except they did not get chunked, they got killed.
And Paul addressed himself as a doulos (Romans 1).
For definition’s sake, a slave was completely consumed with the will of their master.
This was their purpose.
To Give
Work
Sweat
Serve
Bleed
and Die for their master.
Are you a doulos for Christ?
Be consumed with the will of the Master.
--Ben
