::Where is Freedom?::

"Whenever anyone turns to the Lord the veil is taken away. Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom." -2 Corinthians 3:16, 17

What is it that we think will give us/others freedom? In a world where oppression, suffering and tyranny is so rampant, this is a question that needs to be answered. True freedom is not just the absence of pain, war, oppression and rules... Freedom is not the ability to do whatever you want, but rather to be able to choose what will give you abundant satisfaction: namely to know and follow Jesus Christ. Any attempt at freedom apart from Christ can only result in bondage/slavery to that thing that is supposedly defined as freedom or a solution for freedom. True freedom is found only in Christ Jesus. May we find our freedom in the freedom giver, the Lord AlMIGHTY who alone can set the captive free.
