Do we send people away free but empty? I noticed at the end of this chapter God promises not just to give freedom but to provide finances for them. God not only gave them freedom but in a very real way a means to start a new life. He didn't just break them out of jail as it were but gave them the money to start living again. Later we will see in the Law that God will command when slaves are set free they are to be given funds to start their new life. Even spiritually Jesus offers the only Spirit to help us once we have been freed from our sins. To put it another way, God doesn't just free us, he gives us what we need to live free.
Now it's up to us to see how we can apply that to our life and how we treat others. So what are you going to do?
