Free Indeed

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. (John 8:36)

Today’s blog post is contributed by David Trotta:

This past weekend, myself and some other members of my church went to a local correctional facility to share about the love and the life changing power of Jesus.

As I think about all the inmates in prison, I can’t help but think about the many Christ followers who still remain in a spiritual prison.  Spiritual prison cells can come in many different shapes and sizes.

There are prison cells of guilt.

There are prison cells of shame.

There are prison cells of fear.

Did you surrender your life to Jesus?  Are you a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven?  If yes, then no prison cell can hold you. The Ruler of the kingdom has declared you “free.”  And not just free, but “free indeed.”

The word “indeed” is used to underscore that something is true and it’s no accident Jesus chose to use it.

He wanted us to know loud and clear that the freedom He offers is complete and total.

He swung the prison doors wide open permanently.  If anything holds us prisoner today, it is by our choice.  The prison door is open.  We only need to walk out.

We are free, indeed!
