Free Indeed

This week we will examine the true freedom that comes from believing in Christ;s testimony, knowing who He is and knowing who you are.

Ye shall be free indeed.—Or, ye shall be free in reality.—The word is not the same as that rendered “indeed,” Ye shall be free indeed.—Or, ye shall be free in reality.—The word is not the same as that rendered “indeed,” They claimed political freedom, but they were in reality the subjects of Rome. They claimed religious freedom, but they were in reality the slaves to the letter. They claimed moral freedom, but they were in reality the bondmen of sin. The freedom which the Son proclaimed was in reality freedom, for it was the freedom of their true life delivered from the thraldom of sin and brought into union with God. For the spirit of man, that in knowledge of the truth revealed through the Son can contemplate the Father and the eternal home, there is a real freedom that no power can restrain.The chains that bind the body cannot bind the spirit, whose chains have been loosed. He is free indeed, for the Son has made him free.
