Free Indeed

John 8:31b,32,36 (NIV) - Jesus said, "If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."... "So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." True freedom is experienced through a relationship with Jesus, the Son of God ('I Am The Truth' John 14:6), not through an idea. Jesus reveals the truth about God and the truth about us. The religious Jews prided themselves by claiming to be Abraham's children and never having been slaves. (Huh? Did you forget about the years of bondage in Egypt?) Jesus pointed out that spiritual bondage to sin is the worst kind of slavery. The good news is that Jesus sets us free from sin and its hold over our lives! Freedom indeed! The Message says we are "free through and through." The Amplified Bible uses the words stating that we are.. "really and unquestionably free." We will continue to explore the depths of this wonderful freedom in the next few days.
