FREEDOM

Yesterday I came across FREEDOM  twice.

The first time was when I saw a FREEDOM CAMPER parked in front of THE Warehouse here in Kaitaia. When I saw the word FREEDOM again,  I asked myself the question again, “What is FREEDOM?”

Not long ago I read in the Gospel of Luke in the Bible:

“‘TheSpirit of the Lord is on me,

Luke 4:18-19 

because

he has anointed me

to preach good news to the poor.

He has sent me

to proclaim FREEDOM for the prisoners and

recovery of sight for the blind,

to release the oppressed,

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.'”

The BIBLE teaches also “that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, … ” You read that in Galatians 3:22.

But the Bible says also that the  Lord Jesus Christ is the ” …, Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!”

The second time I came across FREEDOM yesterday was when I picked up an empty thrown away cigarette packet. (I don’t do that very often!) Maybe what attracted me was the word FREEDOM written on the packet. I don’t smoke, but I assume that that is the brand. “Smoking is highly addictive,” is also written on the package. It is a Ministry of Health Warning.
