I.\u00a0\u00a0 SLAVERY<\/strong><\/h4>\n

In ancient times, much was made of a boy becoming a man. Not so for a slave. He had no (rights<\/strong><\/span>); no (privileges<\/strong><\/span>); no (freedom<\/strong><\/span>); no (voice<\/strong><\/span>) in anything. Even those given responsibility for taking care of the child\/children was still a slave.<\/p>\n

As long as the heir is a child, he is no different than a slave though he is the owner of everything<\/strong>. Until he comes of age, he is treated no differently than a (slave<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

Paul\u2019s point all along: The Law is (bondage<\/strong><\/span>); it is slavery.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The time was right (culturally<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The time was right (politically<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

\u201cBorn of a woman\u201d- God in flesh came to live among us.<\/p>\n

\u201cBorn under the Law\u201d- born into Jewish family and subject to the Law<\/p>\n

\u201cAdopted\u201d- combination of two words: \u201cson\u201d and \u201ca placing.\u201d\u00a0 Our relationship to God is more than positional: it is also experiential.<\/p>\n
