Are we not already free?

Morning: Psalm 88; Jeremiah 11:1-8, 14-20; Romans 6:1-11

Evening: Psalms 91, 92; John 8:33-47

There is great ferment in modern democracies about what freedom is. You wonder, are we not already free? But the rhetoric rings out from all sides of the political spectrum about how our ‘freedoms’ are being eroded. Some decry anti-democratic populism and the rise of dictators. Others claim that liberal democracies give too much power to governments to tax and to spend. In spite of our claims to be free, it actually sounds as if, in reality, we are anything but free, trapped by our circumstances. Jesus shows what true freedom is and how to find it.
