As we remember, celebrate, and give thanks for the freedoms embraced by many in our country, we also pause as followers of Jesus to give thanks for the truth that through Jesus Christ, we have been freed from the bondage of our sin.
As Paul writes in Galatians 5:1, “For freedom Christ has set us free.” But, in the words of Superman, with that freedom comes great responsibility. Now, we are freed to live in service to our neighbor.
As you go about your day, challenge yourself to remember that you, too, have been freed from all that keeps you captive. And, challenge yourself to see those around you as your neighbor whom you have been freed to serve in Christ’s name.
