Word:
Freedom in Christ
Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8: 34-36.
It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery. You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather, serve one another humbly in love.
Galatians 5: 1 and 13.
Thought:
Lord Jesus Christ was born in this world, died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and was raised to set us free from sin. Let us practice to walk humbly with Him every moment.
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
