FREEDOM

Here we have the Statue of Liberty. Its a welcoming light for all to see. Many
from other countries have seen that Statue and found such joy of finally experiencing
the freedom of life we Americans experience. Just seeing it they know they are safe.

When God delivered the Israelites from slavery using Moses as his servant, he set them
free. After they crossed the river they were no longer in the hands of Egypt, they were
safe on the other side. They soon became their own enemy as they began to complain
and grumble. They somehow forgot the safety they were in. They were no longer in the
hands of their enemy. They seem to forget what God did for them.

When Jesus saves us we are no longer a slave to sin but free in Christ, we are no
longer in the hands of Satan the evil one. But we, like the Israelites. become our own enemy because we forget that we are free. We complain of this and that.
We no longer live under the law but under Grace. We still sin yes, but we
are not a slave to it.
Jesus came to seek and to save the lost, he is our great physician, he came to
bind up the wounds and heal the sick.

The bible tells us that: God so loved the world that he sent his only Son, that
whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16, verse 17 says, "For God sent not his son into the world to condemn
the world but that the world through him might be saved.
Jesus is our Freedom, he is not a statue but the light that we can see and run
to, he is the beacon that says, come unto me and be safe.

Come to Jesus and live on the other side of life. I want to add more to this
free life in my next blog.
The slogan for the state of New Hampshire is: Live free or die.
