Freedom!

"It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery." - Gal 5:1

As I enjoyed watching the fireworks over Vulcan in Homewood, AL, I couldn't help but wonder what celestial fireworks, what thunderous applause must have occured when the prince of glory, the very Son of God, entered into the true temple in heaven, offering Himself as a sacrifice once and for all to satisfy the Holy justice of the Almighty God. "Behold the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" What celebration! What exaltation! As Satan is cast down and the very power of sin is broken and the sting of death is finally removed- our transgressions flung as far as the east is from the west. Oh that we would ever live our Christian lives in light of this glorious liberation. May every day be a new independence day from sin.
