When we live our life in him, we discover a higher freedom than the world can know. The freedom of the Gospel, life lived under Jesus' love, stands in direct conflict to the bondage of the Law. If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. The emphasis here is not on believing or even confessing Jesus. That was once done.
Freedom is a relentless pursuit for most people.
Jesus has a better idea. With God's truth revealed to us, we can see a little more clearly God's blueprint for creation. This gospel lesson for today helps us to see that we cannot make ourselves free. Only God can do that. True freedom, which God gives through the death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ.
