The Search For Freedom
“The Spirit of the Lord G od is upon Me, because the L anointed Me . . . to proclaim liberty to the captives.” Isaiah 61:1.
People seek freedom in various ways, not realizing that the freedom they seek is often the pathway to bondage. Einstein said, “I feel like a man chained. If only I could be free from the shackles of my intellectual smallness, then I could understand the universe in which I live.” My, what insight into a man who is considered one of the most brilliant minds. Freedom for the scientist, he thinks, is found in seeking truth about the physical universe. The philosopher tries to discover truth about human existence. The psychologist looks for truth about the action and reaction of the human mind. At the end of his life, Buddha said, “I am still searching for truth.” We say we want freedom from prejudice, freedom from ignorance, and freedom from poverty. We even say we’re searching for religious freedom; yet even in America there are groups that want to throw out religious symbols. They wish to be free from bondage while throwing away the symbols that speak of true freedom. Jesus is Truth— a ll psychological truth, all sociological truth, all scientific truth, all philosophical truth, all religious truth (John 14:6). He came to deliver the most freeing message of all and to rescue mankind from bondage and bring peace and freedom to weary souls.
