Freedom In Christ
Luke 8:26-39
It is only when Christ is present, whether in the life of an individual, a family, a church, or a nation, that they experience genuine and lasting freedom, but even that freedom is something most believers will never experience because of three obstacles that we face.
Satanic Opposition
The Bible plainly tells us that this man was plagued by a mob of demons that went by the name of Legion.
No I want you to be clear on this; if a man or woman rejects Christ and goes to hell, they go because they made a conscious choice to reject Christ.
Love of Darkness
You see, one of the greatest obstacles most people will ever face is their own love of the darkness they live in.
When you step out of that world into the world of light, then you can find freedom like nothing you’ve ever experienced before.
Fear
It didn’t matter that this man who had been in such bondage was now set free, or that this Jesus was just as concerned about their eternal souls – they were afraid and unwilling to have any dealings with Him.
Jesus went all the way across that lake just to meet this man and set him free.
The obstacles are real, and they are difficult to overcome. Most will never find freedom, but for those of you who are ready, Jesus stands today ready.
