I love the interpretation that the rabbi provides. However, I think that both points are important: yes, we are His. However, I strongly believe that, in this era of "self made people", we need to REMEMBER that we did not make ourselves. G-d MADE us and NOT we ourselves. That it is so critical, given the human tendency to pride in "self-actualization", that we remember that we are the results of G-d's creation, not of our own. Only then can we keep our pride in place and let G-d be G-d and we remain his servants - His people and the sheep of His pasture!!

Interestingly Jeremiah is the only prophet with a call unto the nations and not just for the Jewish people.
