Freedom Day

26 April 2012                                              

John 8:31-32 Jesus then said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

People talk about freedom, but very few actually understand what it is to be free. In reality most people in this country are financial slaves to the economy in some way or the other, almost no one is able to survive without earning a living or receiving a grant or handout. True freedom is the freedom of the mind, emotional freedom, spiritual freedom, a freedom that is not bound in politics or our situation but a freedom that comes from the realisation that we are slaves to no one, because We have been redeemed by God, He has paid our ransom.

I remember the day I became debt free, free from an employer, free to feel and live as God has called me to, what a joy, what an experience. When we celebrate freedom day, we celebrate a human understanding of supposedly political freedom, yet looking at politics and the economy is freedom ever truly possible without Jesus Christ?

Be encouraged today to celebrate the freedom that Jesus has given you.

David

Point to ponder: God sets us free.

Question to consider: Are you free?
