Freedom with a Price #412

When we think of the American Revolution or the fall of the Berlin Wall, we think of our freedoms purchased through the shedding of blood. The one over two hundred years ago; the other recently. There is freedom to worship, freedom to earn a fair wage, freedom to operate a business, and precious political freedom. The cost was high. Many young men and women willingly gave their lives for a cause so dear as freedom. Every Fourth of July, Americans celebrate freedom purchased with blood.

But if this freedom is so valuable, why don't more people seek an even greater freedom? It is the freedom from sin and guilt. This freedom was also purchased through the shedding of blood. Jesus Christ, the very Son of God, shed His precious blood on a cross over two thousand years ago. As a result, there are thousands upon thousands who have been freed from the inner burden of guilt and have found peace with God.

These same people will one day experience the ultimate in freedom. Yes, they will see "...a new earth, in which righteousness dwells" (2 Peter 3:13), where "...there shall no longer be any death; there shall no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain." (Revelation 21:4)

This Fourth of July weekend, thank God for a free America where we can seek the ultimate freedom only God can give.
