It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. — Galatians 5:1
Prisons come in many forms. Many people do the responsible thing because they know they must. They are trapped. Caught between their own evil desires and their sense of duty.
Jesus came to make desire and duty one. He came to make us whole. He came so that we too could delight in doing the will of God, so that we could consider it our highest joy.
God doesn’t want us to pretend to enjoy Him. He wants to get His hands on the reasons we don’t. Jesus came into our hearts as a Liberator, not as an oppressor. Everywhere He goes He spreads the delicious experience of freedom.
