Romans 8:2 (ESV)
For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in
Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death.
How do you feel when it’s Friday? Do you feel relieved?
Maybe you know that you don’t have school or work for a few days and get the
chance to get caught up on sleep and chores. In a way, Friday is a type of
freedom. You know that you have two days to relax and catch up.
The feeling you get on a Friday is only a small fraction
of the freedom that you experience in Christ. Today’s verse tells us that we’ve
been set free from sin and death. We are no longer bound by sin, we’re not held
back by our sinful nature and it’s desires. Rather we’ve been set free. Sin no
longer has a hold on us.
This freedom that we experience in Christ is way greater
than any weekend or holiday. It’s life changing. You’ve been made completely
and totally free from the power of sin because of what Jesus did. That’s the
most freeing news there is!
Dear Lord, we thank You for the freedom that You give to
each of us. Thank You that we are no longer bound by sin but freed because of
what You did for us on the cross. In the Name of Jesus, Amen.
