The gospel offers the freedom to know truth with a capital 'T'. Truth is a person and that person is Jesus. Knowing him is liberating because we gain an understanding of the purpose and the meaning of our lives. We gain a focus and context that doesn't stifle us but empowers us along a trajectory that offers hope and a future. I understand our fear, however.
Preachers are often afraid to champion freedom because they're fearful of giving up the store.
We don't trust people to determine their own morality. Yet, the freedom we preach is the freedom embodied by Jesus. As our listeners meet Jesus in our sermons, they will, in fact, be free at last. The Matrix presents scenes of violence and some course language. This commentary should not be viewed as a recommendation.
