In the game of monopoly, there is a card that everyone wishes to have in their possession. It is the “Get out of jail free” card. Sooner or later, you will find yourself ‘in jail’… unable to pass ‘go’ unable to collect your 200 dollars. With that card, you are set free immediately. The Christian life has always been intended to be a life of freedom. That is why Jesus Christ came into the world… that we might ‘know the truth’ and that truth would indeed ‘set us free’. The good news of the gospel story is that we can be free from guilt before our Holy God. We can be ‘freed up’ from emotions and wrong thinking that can bind us and bother us constantly.
