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 />
