Do you ever feel like you want to be free?  We all experience the weight of life and the reality of sin.  The problem is we often believe we have the power to obtain our own freedom.  Our only hope of freedom comes from the Holy Spirit releasing us and empowering us to live each  day.

Every year we celebrate Easter, the day when Jesus rose from the dead.  But why does it matter that Jesus rose from the dead?  What importance does it have for our lives today.  Paul shows us in 1 Corinthians 15 that the resurrection of Christ radically transforms our life because it is true, trustworthy, and triumphant.

Isaiah 52:13-54:12

Psalm 22

In this text, we will see that God’s people were in rebellion. In God's righteous judgment, He will send fiery serpents to punish His people for their rebellious hearts. After Moses pleads with the Lord, God will provide a way to save those infected. Like the Israelites, we too are infected but with sin. Sin is leading us to eternal death. We need a remedy and that remedy is Christ.

Exodus 12:1-28

Life can be hard.  The problem is deeper than we think.  We typically  underestimate the sinful nature that is in us while also overestimating  our ability to follow and obey Jesus Christ.  Our only hope to fight  against sin, is not obedience to the law, but rather deliverance that  comes from Christ.

Through faith in Christ, we are free to live by the Spirit of God.   Unfortunately we often live as if we are still bound to our old ways.   Paul wants us to realize that through our union with Christ in his death we are freed and able to live to the ways of God.
