We Are Free!!!


I was blessed by this story which I heard last Sunday whom Ruth preached about. The story goes like this:

There was a quill seller who brought a few quills to a market one day. In order to stop them from flying away, the seller had to tie a string unto their feet. The quills therefore could not fly but walk in the circle all the time.

A pro-life guy came to the market and saw what had happened. He was upset about it. He went to the seller and gave him a big sum of money and buy all of the quills. He was so happy and started to free each of the quills. To his surprise, the quills did not fly but continue walking in the circle. The pro-life guy tried to shoo them away, they flew away but eventually after few seconds they came back walking, again in the circle. He finally felt disappointed and walked away.

The story tells us that at times we do not realize that we have been set free by the blood of Jesus. Just like the pro-life guy in the story, He has paid for us all and yet just like the quills we do not realize it.

I pray that we will know and experience the Truth even more as we live our days.

So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
John 8:36
