Good evening, fellow redeemed!
Jesus answered them, Truly, truly, I say to
you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The
slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. So
if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.
With these words from John, our Lord Jesus tells us of His
all sufficient work at the cross.
The Jews who questioned Jesus didn't understand their
slavery to sin and their need for freedom. Their claim of the freedom
through the line of Abraham actually revealed their idolatry in which they held
to their own favorite subject: themselves.
Only Jesus brings us into the house of the Father.
This great work He does at the cross, shedding His innocent blood to
redeem lost and condemned creatures like you and me. Only through Jesus,
as we cling to Him by faith, are we freed from the power of sin, death, and the
devil, and brought into the household of God.
