And in doing it, we're even less able to understand the deeper, divine truth which takes on human flesh in the Person of Jesus Christ. My fourth point is the idea of freedom. Once we lose our grip on truth, we inevitably lose our freedom because we no longer have a way of morally ordering our choices. Our choices become our distractions and our chains. And that's not what God wants.
Real freedom is rooted in self-sacrifice.
Freedom is not license. Freedom is not selfishness. Freedom is not choices without purpose. And it's a walk that leads to the cross. We need to take that walk ourselves, and model it to the students we teach.
