Jesus took upon Himself the sin of the entire world - sin past, present, and future. He took my sin and yours. Since God cannot look upon sin, He had to turn away from even His own Son so that Jesus could finish the work He was sent to accomplish. To win our freedom from sin cost Jesus dearly. It meant separation from the Father.
Freedom is always costly.
Consider next the nature of our nation's freedom. This verse reveals that God has written His law not only in Scripture, but also in nature itself and in the human conscience. Unfortunately, it takes time, sometimes even centuries, for that natural law to take root in the human conscience. As Jefferson was writing in his little rented apartment on Market Street in Philadelphia, he was inspired by the natural revelation of many centuries. Tyranny had finally made clear the revelation.
