“When Jesus had lifted up
himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, woman, where are thine
accusers? Hath no man condemned thee? She said, no man, Lord. And Jesus said
unto her, neither do I condemn thee: go and sin no more” John 8:10-11.
LIGHT FOR THE NOW:
Jesus paid the price for our freedom through His death on the cross.
To be free means to obtain
without any payment. It means to have another pay the price you couldn’t pay in
order to let you go. It also means not enslaved or imprisoned; to be free from
obstruction or any form of blockage. The death of Jesus paid for all our
freedom but it is the knowledge in the liberty that Christ has provided that
guarantees our freedom (Galatians 5:1; Romans 8:1). Spiritual freedom brings
about physical manifestations in all our endeavours. Believers in Christ need
to know that the bill for their freedom has been paid in full. Accepting Jesus
brings freedom. You can only be free as a son of God. Responsible sons in the
spirit are free because they are empowered.
Freedom comes to men of
understanding and not church goers (John 8:36). It is your redemption that
brings about the totality of your freedom. According to today’s text, the woman
was caught in the very act of adultery and she must have thought that was her
end. According to the law, she was supposed to be stoned to death. But by the
divine mercies of God, her accusers did not know that they were bringing her to
her freedom.
To be free, you must
ultimately accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour. The woman in today’s text
acknowledged Jesus as Lord. When you acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and Saviour,
no other power can keep you in bondage (1John 3:8). You must consciously be
mindful of what Jesus did for you at the cross.
It is the knowledge of the liberty you have that guarantees your
victory.
The devil will only take advantage of your ignorance of who you are in
Christ. When you don’t know your rights as a believer in Christ Jesus, you
become a plaything in the hands of the devil. But when the devil knows that you
are aware of your position in Christ, he stays away. It is your responsibility to
know that you are free and that Satan no longer has any stronghold on you. “There is therefore now no condemnation to
them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit” (Romans 8:1).
INSTRUCTION: Don’t be ignorant
of your freedom.
PRAYER: Lord, I stand fast in the liberty you have
provided for me in Jesus Name.
QUOTE: He whom the son of man sets free is free indeed.
