This past Sunday at Freedom in Clayton, our praise band played the song, "Set me Free" by Casting Crowns.
These lyrics have been echoing in my mind ever since.
Do you want to be free?
Lift your chains
I hold the key
All power on Heaven and Earth belong to me
You are free
Do we understand this about Jesus? He is all powerful. The one who is all powerful in heaven on his throne, and on earth offers us freedom.
There are many today who claim power. There are many illusions to power such as money or position. But all true power belongs to Jesus Christ, and Jesus Christ alone.
In all matters he has the final word.
And he said we are free.
" So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed." John 8:36 (NIV)
