Galatians 5:1-6
Open your bibles to Galatians 5. As you're turning there, let me ask you this: What does freedom mean? The answer to that question depends a lot on the person answering it doesn't it?
- For a baby, freedom might be finally getting out of the crib and crawling around the living room.
- For a third grader, freedom is the last day of school knowing you have summer vacation ahead of you.
- For the sixteen-year-old it's getting a driver's license. Free from the yoke of mom/dad as passenger.
- For the high school graduate freedom is leaving home and being on your own in college with no parent to tell you what time to be in, and no parent to tell you what to do. I heard of one teen-ager in our church who was tired of his parents telling him what to do, so he ran off and joined the Marines! Whoops!!
- Freedom for a young married couple might be an evening when a baby-sitter watches the kids and they're able to get out by themselves for a few hours.
- For some, retirement from the job is freedom.
- I think we all will reach the age when life holds nothing but pain, and you're no longer able to care for yourself, and freedom is going home to be with the Lord.
As Americans, we tremendously value national freedom don't we? We even have a statute in the New York Harbor as a symbol of it. Her name is Liberty. Did you know that when the Statue of Liberty was being shipped from France to America it was a on a ship disassembled into 214 crates? Halfway across the Atlantic, the French ship encountered a terrible storm was in danger of sinking. To lighten the ship, the captain ordered that any excess weight be cast overboard. The ship was still in danger of being swamped by the waves. The sailors wanted to throw the crates containing the statue overboard as well. But the captain said, ''No! We will sink before we throw Liberty away.''
