“The ocean breeze will set you free,” I read yesterday in a shop at MANGONUI.

I can hardly grasp that people believe that, but it shows that we humans are looking for freedom.

Sitting on a hot day at the beach and having the ocean breeze cool you down is surely refreshing. I have done that not only here in New Zealand, but also in Thailand.

But if we are looking for the real freedom, we must come to the Lord Jesus Christ, who gives us not only the ocean breeze, but who gives us also freedom from sin.

In Second Corinthians it says:

“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.”
