Ownership

There are three levels of ownership recognized in most societies (we tend to only think of one, but in reality, it's all three of them combined for us.)  There is Ownership (the ultimate legal right to the thing.  It is yours.), Possession (You have the thing with you, you have legal access to the thing), and Usufruct (you have legal rights to use the thing.  You do not own it, nor is it your possession, but you can use it.).  I was thinking about this today, and I realized that in Christianity, we are God's bondservants, his slaves.  He has ownership of us, but we have possession and usufruct.  And I thought that was pretty cool.
