Tomorrow, we will be celebrating our country's freedom from the tyranny of oppression by Great Britain. Last week, I posted about some of the heroes that sacrificed everything for our freedom from the Nazis during WW-II. Struggling against oppression has been a part of our history since the beginning of time as recorded by the earliest manuscripts known to man. That oppression can be attributed to man's broken nature described in the Book of Genesis and throughout the Old Testament. Our true freedom from that broken nature was only made possible by the life and death of Jesus, God in the flesh, who came to Earth to save us from our sin. I was reminded of the words from this worship song, "Come out of the dark, just as you are, into the freedom of his love." I hope you are able to celebrate our country's freedom well and also take a few moments to celebrate the freedom available through knowing and following Jesus.
