Gal. 5:1 It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.
To many, freedom
is like winning the lottery: It's something that happens to someone else
you don't know. "It will never happen to me" we say.
So when
you are given freedom (and you were), most of the time, we don't act on it. We think
we are free intellectually (as we were thus told), but in reality, in our daily lives, we
refuse to live out that freedom. Often it's social pressure that
forces us (or so we think and allow) to not live in that freedom. Like
crabs that are put into buckets, one crab can crawl it's way out to
freedom, but put other crabs in the bucket with it, they will grab at
the first crab and keep it pulled down into its prison. Each crab
trying for freedom, but all the others, (ironically, including the first one) will
pull it down.
Freedom has been given to us in Jesus Christ.
Question is, will we believe and live it, or allow social pressures
(church, state, family or friends) keep you down? Just keep in mind, we are all guilty
of pulling others down into our subjective reality. Lift others up so
they too can find freedom, and in their freedom, reach down and lift you
up with them.
Be free my friends!
