We are subjects of the King, bonded-slaves/servants of the Master, children of the Father, sheep of the Shepherd, students of the Teacher, friends of the Christ, and partners in a divine covenant. While there may be seemingly points of difference between these things, to live into and to live out the fullness of our relationship with God, we should not hold these in tension with each other but in harmony as differing notes are held together to make a rich and full chord.
