My Beloved,
Would you take in a slave who has escaped from his/her master or someone who is in trouble? Is this not similar to the city of refuge scenario? How would you treat someone like this if you decide to take them in? Were we not once slaves to sin who escaped into the house of God? How has GOD treated us?
Deuteronomy 23:15-16
15 “If slaves should escape from their masters and take refuge with you, you must not hand them over to their masters.
16 Let them live among you in any town they choose, and do not oppress them.
