Paul tells us that Christ has set us free so that we might be free. Christ has set us free so we would not need to bear the burden of a yoke. Christ has set us free so we could know the hope and promise and joy of eve and adam in the Garden of Eden.
Now that you are free, what will you do with your freedom?
This is not a question Jesus asks us - he didn't set us free as a test to see how we would use our freedom. "For freedom Christ has set us free." It is a question Paul asks his readers, and it is a question I am asking you.
Now that you are free, what will you do with your freedom?
Maybe you slept a bit latter this morning. I really hope you did; or that you might tomorrow.
Maybe you allowed your eyes to glaze over a bit when the professor in your 11:05 class scolded you. Your education is paramount - and that education is too important to be hijacked by one particular line in one of 40+ syllabus you will work your way through.
Maybe you stood up to the voices which attempted to tell you un-truths intended to justify their attempts to exclude or ignore you. You have the freedom of Christ in your pocket - what ever they are selling is of no comparison.
For freedom Christ has set us free. All of life's really big questions have been answered and they have all be answered in our favor. That ought to put a bit of a jingle in your step. It surely will put a joyfulness in your heart.
