Freedom is possible.

Freedom IS possible.

I watched a film called 'Catch a Fire' yesterday - about the apartheid in South Africa.
Made me think very practically about those who literally have no freedom.

And yet Jesus came to set people free.

I believe that this is a very real freedom of which Jesus talks. Not just from fears and emotions...but literal freedom.

Speech for those who are quietened.
Food for those who are starved.
Education for those who are unschooled.
Hope for those who are broken.

"You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free."

This is not just a figurative freedom, of us entering the Kingdom of Heaven. The 'truth' we share with those around us MUST mean that their needs are cared for, their dreams are flourished, their lives are improved. It MUST be practical.

Mustn't it?
