We are to free the slaves because we were once slaves. Sabbath is a remembrance of the stale bondage of Egypt and the fresh air of our new garden given to us because of the faithfulness of God's covenantal love, not due to our capacity to make God happy. Yet God is more than happy with us - he adores us and lavishes us with freedom and joy.
( Dan B. Allender )
[ Sabbath ]
