For Monday, July 05, 2021
John 8:32 NLT: “Jesus said, ‘My disciples will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’”
Because July 4th fell on a Sunday, Independence Day is officially observed today. Our country was launched with the Christian principles of truth and freedom. Our founders desired freedom from the British Monarchy. That freedom was such a desirable commodity that they were willing to fight the Revolutionary War – willing to lay down their lives for freedom!
A big part of that was freedom to worship. It’s not that the Anglican church was so bad; but the founders’ desire was that our faith should answer to Jesus and to the Bible, and no other authority. Of course knowing the truth of eternal salvation – the truth about Jesus being the Son of God – is the truth that can set everyone free and fill us with hope, regardless of governments.
Today we celebrate the freedom of knowing Jesus our way – Happy Independence Day!
