Do you know what is the essay about the “owned slave”?

History tells us about the slave trade and how a waster had the liberty to buy whoever he wanted and enslave that person until his death or release him if he wanted. Some of those slaves after being release used to go and sell themselves to another master. Such slaves belittled freedom and were to be enslaved all their lives. The church scholars wrote the essay of the “owned slave” as an analogy that we were God’s servants and free at the same time, yet we sold ourselves to Satan. Our master wanted to purchase us back to Himself to free us. He purchased us with His blood “For you were bought at a price” (1Cor. 6:20). This was a very heavy price (the incarnation and crucifixion) the meanings of that essay are very profound.
