The 12 Joys of Christmas: The Joy of Freedom.
John 8:31b-32 If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. esv
Freedom.... Something everyone wants. Something people will go to war for. People fight people, and countries fight countries. I wonder how many of us that are free truly feel free. I America, we say we are free. But look deep your heart and ask yourself if you truly are free. Free from sin and death. Sin is often described as a chain, or yolk. It makes you work harder for nothing. It holds you down to the point of death, and many people say you are a slave to it. That "it" or "sin" is different for everyone. But it all comes down to one penalty.... Death.... And not just physical death, but also spiritual death. And that is truly frightening!
Being in the word (Bible ... Word of God) reveals truth to those who are His ... Those who belong to Christ. That equals real freedom. Freedom from the bonds of sin. The chains that bind no longer hold. Life in Christ is Real Freedom! Give your life, your heart, to Him and enjoy that freedom now!
