Tell me . . . What does it mean to you to be free—I mean really free?
No, not the normal, everyday freedoms we might experience—depending on where we live—but the way Jesus might have meant it when he said that if he sets me free, I’m truly free (John 8:36). Besides the usual, and crucial, application of freedom from being a slave to sin, what is Jesus talking about there? What does his kind of freedom look like within the context of my life? How do I grab hold of it when I’m sliding around in the muck of life’s struggles and pressures?
I get the feeling that it’s going to take me an eternity to really figure out “living free” like Jesus meant it. But in the meantime, I know he wants me to begin living that freedom where I am right now.
A good place to start. Well, that and the only place to start.
