About this episode

The episode discusses the themes of Passover in relation to freedom and liberty, emphasizing the transition from slavery to spiritual and civil liberty.

This year, in honor of Resurrection Sunday, I am picking up themes from the Passover. Yes, God passes over us, while He judges wickedness. Yes, we passover from darkness to light. But have we thought enough about passing over from slavery to freedom to liberty? God sums up the Passover story in Exodus 20:2 as "I took you out of the house of slavery." Let's think about that. Freedom is freedom from. Yes, we have freedom from sin. (Even if some Christians deny it. None of us use that freedom to fullest extent.) But realize, please that liberty is greater. Liberty is freedom instantiated with discipline. So it becomes not just personal spiritual freedom but civil liberty. Here is a basic gospel point. Here is a basic Civic point. Here is true freedom: liberty. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. Let us think on this this holiday season, and this year -- especially this year as we celebrate the founding of our nation. The passover is our primarly, singular, most important key to our liberty in Christ that we celebrate once again on Resurrection Sunday.
