Freedom (8)

Freedom is the breath of life. -The Flying Dutchman

In commemoration of February 1st being "National Freedom Day" here are my musings on freedom. Having read accounts of the Holocaust, the era of slavery, and the Dark Ages, I have glimpsed some of the horror that results from freedom being destroyed. Freedom is what keeps both beast and man alive. Most creatures, when deprived of liberty will eventually die. On a spiritual level, freedom is what sustains life as well. Sin, when allowed to continue its fatal course, puts man in bondage and results in death. Only by true freedom in Jesus is eternal life possible.
