JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Focus on God’s Goodness is found in John 8:36.
Jesus said, “So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.”
There are five freedoms found in the first amendment of the Constitution: Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and the right to petition the government.
However, Jesus is pointing out an even greater freedom than these-freedom from sin and freedom in Christ. Following Jesus is the pathway to real and lasting freedom. We can experience peace with God, joy in His love, and worship in His presence.
This freedom becomes our experience when we hold to the teachings of Jesus and follow the truth of what He taught us. His words are given to bless us, direct our lives in God’s will, and build our faith.
The freedom offered by Jesus reveals the Goodness of God and is a reason to give thanks in the Year of Gratitude.
