Proclaiming Liberty

Yesterday we considered how the nearness of God sets us free, but today, consider that he has come not just for you but to set the whole world free. When he teaches in the temple, Jesus talks about proclaiming liberty to captives and giving sight to the blind. Jesus loves the vulnerable and the oppressed and he has come to set them free from all the forms of sin and death. Pray today that you would turn your head to the vulnerable, just as God has turned his head to you. We were the vulnerable and the oppressed until God’s nearness set us free, so think today on how you can serve those in need as God served you when you were in need.
