Last Sunday's epistle included Paul's sermon on Christian freedom to the Christians of Galatia:
For freedom Christ has set us free...not for self-indulgence. We are free to love our neighbors as ourselves, to serve each other.
But we are not free until all are free. Dr. Martin Luther King demanded that freedom ring throughout the country, and once all were free-- male, female, black, white, Jew, Protestant, Catholic--we could then join hand together to sing the negro spiritual, "Free at last, free at last, thank God almighty, we are free at last."
Are you truly free? Free from hate of yourself and free to love others?
Do you know how you are forgiven, and then can forgive; are loved, and then can love?
When you are watching the fireworks and listening to the national music tomorrow, remember your freedom in Christ.
