SCRIPTURE
John 8:31-36 (NRSV)
Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, "If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free." They answered him, "We are descendants of Abraham and have never been slaves to anyone. What do you mean by saying, 'You will be made free'?"
Jesus answered them, "Very truly, I tell you, everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not have a permanent place in the household; the son has a place there forever. So if the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.
MEDITATION—Today is Saturday Psalmody; the mediation is offered as a psalm from my heart! If you would like a more traditional devotion, please search the archives for a title that appeals to you! (smile)
FREE INDEED
I was slave.
Slave to sin.
Bound for the grave.
Never to rise again.
But my King
He died for me
He took the sting
Rose in victory!
Truth I know
Has set me free
And-whom the Son sets free
THE INVITATION
