Today is the day we remember the events of 9/11 {USA}. The day we wear red, white and blue. The day we recall where we were when we heard the news. The day we mourn the losses.
As this day has been approaching I have been thinking about freedom. Freedom in general. But also freedom in Christ.
Sin is bondage. It puts chains around our hands and shackles around our feet. It weighs us down and stops us from moving on. It stops us from loving others as we should. It prevents us from doing God's will. It brings about a darkness.
We are children of the King! We need to walk in His freedom. Christ didn't take that beating and death so that we could be shackled to sin. He did it so that we could be free. Free from sin and free to fellowship with Him.
If sin, past or present, is weighing you down, if guilt is eating at you, lay it at the cross! Walk in His freedom. Shake off the chains and kick on those shackles and be free in Christ!
I will walk about in freedom,
for I have sought out your precepts.
Psalm 119:45
So if the Son sets you free,
you will be free indeed.
John 8:36

ReplyDeletetrue freedom is choosing what is right. Besides no freedom is absolute. Freedom without limits is sheer slavery. No man is an island unto himself.guarantor
