Man’s quest for freedom fills the history books. There has been a constant yearning for freedom. Wars have been fought and countless people have died with a desire to be free. Their quest has been a noble one and millions live in political freedom today as a result of their efforts.
In the sixties there was another quest for “freedom.” People sought “free love” and “free sex.” They wanted freedom from conformity and laws. Their quest was not quite so noble and today society is suffering the repercussions with the breakdown of the family and millions killed through abortion.
There is an answer in the quest for freedom. Jesus gave us the hope for real freedom and He said it comes in His offer of truth. What kind of freedom does Jesus offer? It is freedom from the bondage to sin and the flesh. It is the freedom from the pressures of the world. It is freedom from the hopelessness, emptiness, and despair of the world. That is true freedom – the freedom to enjoy life with Christ. It is freedom from the anxiety in this life and the fear of death and eternity.
Praise God for the truth that sets us free!
