A pertinent reminder to remember–lest we forget the wonders performed by such a Great Love, to rescue our shame and crown us with esteem. Let us not damn ourselves because we failed to remember the horror of our sins, so cleanly washed away by the blood of an innocent Lamb. Where would I be today without You, O my beloved Messiah–Lamb of Elohim? Where would I be without You?
This is the season of the Haggadah, (the telling) of a true story of freedom. This is the time of new beginnings. This is the time to make new choices—choices which should be based upon what is good and right.
Webster’s 1828 dictionary defines freewill as: “The power of directing our own actions without restraint by necessity or fate.”
Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary describes a person’s will as: “The power of choosing”
“If, then, the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.”– John 8:36
“…promising them freedom, though themselves being slaves of corruption – for one is a slave to whatever overcomes (masters) him.”–2 Kepha (Peter) 2:19b
“In the freedom with which Messiah has made us free, stand firm, then, and do not again be held with a yoke of slavery. For you, brothers, have been called to freedom, only do not use freedom as an occasion for the flesh, but through love serve one another.”—Galatians 5:1, 13
The greatest gift we could have ever received from our Creator is the gift of choice, or as some call it, freewill. Everyday, people take for granted this precious gift, carelessly using it to satisfy their own lusts and desire for self gratification. For these people, they are nothing more than slaves to their own flesh—the most feared slave master of them all. And yet, sadly, there are others who have had this special gift taken away from them by the evils done to them, but they still remain incredibly free, and joyful in their present circumstance.
