CHRIST AND LIBERATION<br />
All things have been delivered to Me by the Father, and no one<br />
knows the Son except through the Father. Nor does anyone know<br />
the Father except through the Son, and he to whom the Son wills<br />
to reveal Him. Come to Me, all you who labor and are heavy<br />
laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn<br />
from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest<br />
for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light (Matthew<br />
11:29-30).<br />
Liberation. The world longs for it. Not just mankind– the<br />
whole world:<br />
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not<br />
worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in<br />
us. For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the<br />
revealing of the sons of God. For the creation was subject to futility,<br />
not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;<br />
because the creation itself also will be delivered from the bondage<br />
of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For<br />
we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth<br />
pangs together until now (Remans 8:18-22).<br />
There have been a lot of liberation movements throughout<br />
history, but only one has the power to deliver men from bondage:<br />
Christianity. God, the Creator of all things, and the Father of the<br />
eternal Son, Jesus Christ, delivered all things to Jesus, and He in<br />
turn passes these things to those who are chained to Him in love<br />
by His law. There is no way to escape tyranny, which is always<br />
first the ~ranny of sin, except through Christ, the liberator.<br />
