Corinthians 3:17-18 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of
the Lord is, there is freedom. And we, who with unveiled faces all reflect
the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing
glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
As a
child I bundled up in my coat, scarf, hat, boots and mittens and joined the
neighbor kids and my brothers on the snowy hills around our home. We
jumped on wooden sleds and glided down the hill as all the cares of the world
drifted away in the wind. The snow sparkled and the trees flew by, and
all of my cares disappeared. Much like the exhilaration that folks
experience when they sky dive or ski, that freedom pumped me up and gave me
energy and excitement. But, it was fleeting, lasting only until I trudged
back up the hill.
The
freedom I find in believing and following Christ lasts forever. Through
the Holy Spirit, this freedom allows me to stay calm amid chaos and
stress. God offers his followers free will. I make decisions with prayer.
With Christ I know I am not bound to the ways of the world. The beautiful part
is that when I leave this world, I have an eternal home in
heaven. "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!"
How do
you experience the freedom of Christ?
