Memorise: If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall
be free indeed. – John 8:36
Read: John 8:34-36 (KJV)
34 Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.
35 And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but
the Son abideth ever.
36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free
indeed.
Bible in One Year: Matthew 4:23-6:34; Job 10:18-11:6
MESSAGE:
Many people claim to be free, but they are not free indeed!
The only genuine freedom is available in Jesus Christ. Anyone that still
commits sin and claims to be free is living in self-deceit. The greatest
task-master in the world is sin. Whoever is under its grip is not free and as a
matter of fact, has no mind of his own.
During the days of Jesus here on earth, the Jews did not
know they were in bondage. Hence, they were surprised when Jesus said that the
words which He was spreading to them would set them free. In the scriptural
passage before us today, Jesus Christ revealed the source of bondage which
people entangle themselves in.
“Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin” - John 8:34
Only the truth of the Word of God can set man free from the
slavery of sin. The question is how can we know the truth? Jesus is the only
truth that can set us free from the slavery of sin. No other means can afford
us the desired freedom. Another liberating truth in the Word of God is that
whoever commits sin is of the devil, but the Son of God has come to destroy the
power of sin in man.
“He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil
sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested,
that he might destroy the works of the devil.” - 1 John 3:8
In Acts 4:12, we read that there is no salvation by any
other, because there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved. Beloved, if you are being intimidated by the task-master of sin
(the devil), the good news is that Jesus Christ is able to set you free, if you
will come to him today in total repentance. It is only Jesus that can make you
free indeed. Believe Him today, and you will be free from all forms of bondage.
Prayer Point: Father, please set me free from all forms of
bondage in which the enemy has kept me in Jesus’ Name.
