So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
So often we yearn to be free
yet embrace the things that hold us back
We acknowledge the oppression of institutions
yet subscribe to the values that make them so
We claim to want to wrest power to use it for good
yet reinforce a culture of power abused
It takes courage to choose the way of freedom
Courage that doesn’t foster popularity
Courage that takes us into awkward places
and difficult conversations
No one person is responsible for our captivity
We are all complicit
in denying ourselves
and others
the freedom promised in Christ
But it is possible
that, with Christ,
one person can begin
the journey to being free
Free to serve
with heart, mind, and soul.
One step, taken with courage
Freedom in Christ
