John 8:36 So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
Lots of things promise to help you, to make your life better. Lose weight. Focus on your work. Improve your relationships. Feel better about yourself. Our entire society (or economy at least) seems to be based on promises to make your life better. It could be said, these are all promises to make you free. Free from disease and unhealth. Free from discomfort or bad relationships. Free from fear.
And we all learn that those are all empty promises. Some things do make life better. I enjoy my iPad. But nothing sets us free like the Son. Nothing really sets us free except Jesus. And Jesus truly sets you free. Free from sin and guilt and death. Free.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
