Free Indeed

Jn 8:33-47 (Sunday's Sermon-a very short synopsis)

This passage is about Jews who believed that Jesus was the Messiah, but they never crossed the barrier of trusting in Jesus to get rid of their sin. They were trusting in the traditions of their fathers to get them into heaven.

You cannot just believe in Jesus as a good moral teacher, because then He is just an ordinary man who cannot tell you what to do. Obedience is the missing link.

Check the family resemblance when determining who your father is. Are you looking (acting) like the devil? Or are you looking like Christ? The Jews were not looking like Abraham.

If the Son makes us free, let us live in the freedom that He gives us and not be in bondage to sin.

Beth to mom- squealing with delight on Friday night when Josh was gone- "Just wait 'till I go to college!! Then YOU will have to do ALL the dishes!"
