The Slave Girl Who Gave Her Life To The Man Who Bought Her

Slave girl

Several hundred years ago a wealthy plantation owner was attracted by the heartbreaking sobs of a slave girl who was about to step up to the auction block to be sold. Moved by an impulse of compassion, he bought her for a very high price and then disappeared into the crowd.
When the auction was over, the clerk came over to the sobbing girl and handed her her bill of sale, telling her who her owner now was. To her astonishment the unknown planter had written the word FREE across the paper that should have delivered her to him. She stood speechless as, one by one, the slaves were claimed by their owners and dragged away. Suddenly she threw herself at the feet of the clerk and exclaimed, “Where is the man who bought me? I must find him. He has set me free. I must serve him as long as I live!”
Christ paid with his blood to ransom you from the slavery of sin on Easter day. What ought You do for Him?
