“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.
