The Abstract Moment-Be Free


James Baldwin’s letter to his nephew always moved me. In that letter he reports, “my dungeon shook and my chains fell off. In the same fashion, one of my favorite set of lyrics are, “I Am Free, Praise the Lord, I’m Free”. That is my testimony, I’m Free. However, honestly I do not always act free. I have placed myself in my imaginary dungeon periodically. How about you? Have you been your own jailer, holding yourself captive? We must realize, “if the Son sets you free you will be free indeed” [John 8:36]. If Jesus has set you free, be free.
