Proclaim Freedom!

Luke 4:8 (NIV) - "The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed..." Jesus is the Messiah, the Anointed One who has proclaimed freedom to those of us who have received Him. We were spiritually imprisoned by our sins and held captive until Jesus our Liberator set us free. We are free because of the finished work of Jesus Christ on the cross. Freed from guilt, condemnation, and fear of punishment for our sins. We have been forgiven! Completely! Now we must learn to live in the freedom that has been proclaimed over our lives. Do not become enslaved again, by anything or anyone - discover the joy of living free! Freedom has been proclaimed by Jesus - now let us proclaim that freedom to those that are still living in bondage. The Spirit of the Lord is on us now!
