"The truth shall set you free," John 8:32.
What a great slogan! Amply suitable for engraving into university or government buildings all over the world. But who said it? Jesus. But who did he say it to? His cultural/religious fellows. But what truth was he talking about? A truth that his countrymen didn't know. But what truth should they know? That anybody who sins becomes a slave to sin. But what should they know? That a slave does not have an inheritance with the family's heir. But what should they know? That if the heir sets them free, they will have true freedom. But what truth? That if they follow Jesus' teachings these would set them free. And they would inherit eternity. Truth: They didn't know. Truth: Jesus is God's Son. His word alone can set free. Sky kingdom.
We get in contact with a brother or sister today to share Jesus' truth. And, together, we give faithful thanks to God for the liberty we inherit as his children, co-heirs with Jesus.
