Real Freedom in Jesus Christ
2 Chronicles 7:14-15 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
1 John 1:5-7 5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not telling the truth: 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Psalms 27:1 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?
Yesterday, July 4, 2026, marked 250 years of freedom for the United States of America. The celebrations were replete with patriotic songs, speeches and of course fireworks.
I submit to you that as spectacular as these these events were, they are no match for the light that comes from the very throne of God. We all love the magic of fireworks, the way they light up the skies with colorful fountains of shimmering lights. Oh, but brothers and sisters, there is no comparison to the light that Jesus brings into our lives. After all, fireworks provide but a momentary pleasure, while the light of Jesus never dims, never fades.
May we pledge not to be satisfied with a pale substitute, but insist on the real thing, the freedom and light that can only be found in Jesus.
In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
