The story of being rescued from slavery and coming into family and then into our inheritance as heirs and rulers can be seen all over the scriptures. Whenever a story becomes a motif–a theme–we know it’s speaking something important. It’s not just archaic happenstance; it is revealing God’s heart for you and me. From Egypt to Canaan. From Joseph’s prison cell to his throne. From the lost son’s pig sty to his welcome home feast! This story happens time and time again.
And it is happening.
African and Chinese orphans are the beloved sons and daughters of some of our good friends. Girls redeemed from the sex trade are finding places of refuge in the people of Jesus who are risking life and limb to call these “nobodies” their own.
And then there’s your journey…
“What I am saying is that as long as the heir is a child, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate… Because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, ‘Abba, Father.’ So you are no longer a slave, but a son; and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir.”
Galations 4:1, 5-7
“For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father.’ The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs–heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ. . .”
Romans 8: 15-17
So enjoy this barnyard party song about adoption and leave a comment to share with us how the Spirit testifies of your sonship and we’ll celebrate together.
