Where are you God?: Freedom

Over the years, I've written about many of the injustices that are taking place around the world, including human trafficking. (Blood Ransom and Dangerous Passage) but for every person caught in the grips of physical slavery, there is another person caught in the grips of emotional and spiritual slavery. We don't have to be forced to work physically to be in bondage.

Whither it is bondage from addictions, depression, financial debt, or something else, there are people everywhere searching for freedom. I don't think I would want to write the stories I write if I didn't believe that there was hope. And that hope comes from one person. Jesus Christ who died on the cross.

Jesus said in Luke 4, "...he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recover fo sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

As many of us look toward Easter as a reminder of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, let's remember those that there are so many living in fear and anxiety right ow. And let's not forget that the Lamb of God, who triumphed over death for each one of us, now sits on the throne.

“And they sang a new song with these words: “You are worthy to take the scroll and break its seals and open it. For you were slaughtered, and your blood has ransomed people for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.” Revelation 5:9 NLT
