Today we celebrate our freedom. For some this freedom is priceless and for others it just is what it is. It is not something they give much thought to and therefore do not appreciate what they have. It can be the same as a believer. For many the thought of their independence form sin, shame and guilt are priceless when they consider what was paid for it, the very blood of the Son of God. Yet there are others who maybe believe that this freedom is their birthright, something that belongs to them just because they are part of the human race. Unless these people recognize Jesus for who He is and what He came to accomplish for us they will spend an eternity separated from Him.
Jesus disciples where confused when He told them He was going away and would return for them, especially when He said they knew the way. The answer Jesus gave them when they said, "Lord we do not where you are going, how can we know the way?" is quite revealing and one of the most quoted verses with the evangelical church. Jesus answered them, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Jesus was letting them know that it is NOT how much they know but WHO they know that will get them to their final destination. Some of us may not even know why we celebrate Independence Day but we still enjoy it. If you belong to Jesus, He is the Way, The Truth and the Life and we will come to the Father through Him. This is not because we deserve it but because Jesus paid the price for our freedom. Let us celebrate the superior freedom we have in Christ today. Have great day Loved Ones and God bless you real good!
