We have made laws. We have a charter. We teach and are taught that we have rights but who decided if we do and who can enforce those rights to make sure I get mine without taking someone else's away?
Don't kids have the right to be protected? No. A child is protected because they are loved, not because she has a right to be protected.
But don't we have any rights at all?
No. Not in reality. Bust as long as you think you do, you will surely get ticked off when someone cuts you off, even if it is God.
Jesus didn't hold on to any rights; he willingly became a servant and lives out of his relationship to the Father. He gave up everything, so that by his dependent life he opened a door that would allow you to live free enough to give up your rights.
So, that's a hard pill to swallow. But that is freedom as well.
