John 8:36

If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

The Fourth of July for many is a type of celebration of freedom. To the contrary, the historical context for which many celebrate independence regarding this day is inaccurate. Nonetheless, true freedom is only in Christ. 

In our text lesson, the writer began by saying “if”, which suggests for all Freedom is Possible. Secondly, the writer said, “the Son therefore shall make you free”. This suggests that Freedom is Plausible. It is credible you can trust this freedom. Lastly, the writer said, “ye shall be free indeed.” The author here suggests that Freedom is Promising. This kind of freedom is provided through the sovereign power of God and needs no further legislation. Therefore, my beloved brothers and sister, enjoy your family and friends, but remember there is only one true way to freedom and that is in Christ Jesus.

Let Us Pray:

Father, thank you for providing a way to freedom for all who will believe. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen.
