This coming Lord’s day we will again ‘look under the Christmas tree,’ so to speak, in order to discover another gift and promise granted to us by our Savior. Throughout Advent, our focus has been upon the wonderful promises that have come to us by virtue of our Lord’s Incarnation. We have already considered the promises of eternal life and living water.

This Sunday we will ‘unwrap’ the gift of freedom.

In John 8:36 our Lord declared that, “if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.” But what is this freedom? And what is it liberation from?

As you pray and prepare your heart for worship, take some time to read the larger context of this saying of Jesus. You will discover it in John 8:12-59.
