Family Matters
“Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty we are
free at last!” In 1963, Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered one of the most
dynamic and influential speeches in the history of our country from the
steps of the Lincoln Memorial that ended with these powerful words. This
speech took place during the famous March on Washington and was a
defining moment of the Civil Rights Movement. Martin Luther King, Jr.
had been preaching about his dream for freedom for all people in America
regardless of race or skin color beginning in 1960, which culminated into
his “I Have A Dream” speech. The famous last words from this speech
gave all Americans hope of equality, freedom from segregation and
discrimination, and a better future.
I wonder what the world would be like if we were all as passionate
about freedom as Martin Luther King, Jr.? We talk a lot about the great
joys of living in a free country. We love the fact that we live in a
democratic nation where we have the right to speak freely and voice our
opinions. Since we say we love freedom so much, why is it that we find
ourselves constantly running back into slavery? Paul, in writing to the
Church in Galatia, observed that they were doing the same thing. “For
freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit
again to a yoke of slavery.” (Gal. 5:1) As children of God, Christ has set
us free from the slavery of sin through His blood! Christ has set us free
from the worst kind of slavery that we could ever imagine, but for some
reason we find ourselves constantly running back to the shackles. Again,
Paul said to the Romans, “There is therefore now no condemnation for
those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you
free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what
the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in
the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, in
order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us,
who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.” (Rom.
8:1-4) What an amazing thought!
Christ loved us so much that He came and offered Himself that we
might be free. With that sacrifice Christ left us with a choice. We can
choose to run back to the shackles of sin and be enslaved to it or we can
stand triumphantly with great passion and say, “Free at last! Free at last!
Thank God Almighty we are free at last!”
