Free

“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus for He will save His people from their sins.”

Matthew 1: 21

“Remember the works that was completed at the cross … remember the freedom you now have… reflect on the finished works of the cross” - This is what the Lord has been speaking to me.

We read in Matthew 1 : 21 , ‘You shall call His name Jesus for He will save His people from their sins’ ! Wow ! Interesting that it says “His people” … even while we were lost in sin He still calls us His own ! His love is just so incomprehensible !!

He will save His people from their sins !

John 8 : 31 – 38 , “So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” They answered him, “We are offspring of Abraham and have never been enslaved to anyone. How is it that you say, ‘You will become free’?” Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you. I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.””

John 8 : 36 , “Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” (I encourage you to read the entire chapter ). If the Son sets us free we are free indeed.

When Christ said in John 19 : 30 “It is finished” it was such a powerful proclamation . We are free ! Christ has set us free .. We need to understand this is a finished work !! Would we live and be alive in this realization ?

It doesn’t matter what you are struggling with today … understand that Christ has conquered sin and death. Going back to John chapter 8 we read in verse 12 , “Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “ I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” Following Him means willingness to step out from where we are and walk towards Him.

Are you willing to take what is rightfully yours ? Christ has set us free.. we have this wonderful freedom.. He paid the price , He has set us free. It is finished . Spirit of loneliness, spirit of self pity , spirits of addictions has no place or authority over our lives. Walk in the freedom of Christ. Whom the Son has set free is free indeed.

God Bless
