John 8:31-36
“So if the Son makes
you free, you will be free indeed.”
(John 8:36)
We are bound by many things, not the least of which are the
wrong choices and actions that mark our lives, which Jesus called sin. When he spoke of freedom in our text, those
of the house of Israel
claimed their heritage as descendants of Abraham. While Jesus shared their heritage, he offered
a greater connection that brought eternal hope. He spoke of sin in the context
of slavery, but relationship with him as liberty.
The question is, why would we choose slavery over
freedom? We must answer that question
every day.
Prayer: Help me Lord Jesus, to lay aside the chains of
sin and slavery, and walk anew in the freedom of your love. Amen.
