06/03/19 JESUS SETS US FREE

The one who rocks the cradle...
Whoever rules the sea...
Prince of the Air is a "god"...
BUT JESUS SETS US FREE.

There are various powers and authorities that hold sway over humanity.

THE ONE WHO ROCKS THE CRADLE, RULES THE WORLD, refers to the power of a mother. Her power can be positive or negative. It also alludes to the influence of linage and upbringing. Again, our heritage and our training can make us slaves as well as free. But the dark side of man is passed on through nature and nurture. Negative and destructive habits, inclinations, associations are passed from generation to generation. The old phrase is, BREAK THE CHAIN. Only Jesus can break the chain of sin. Our earthly parentage and heredity does not have to be the defining and determining factor in our lives. We can, we must be born again, through the power of Jesus Christ.

WHOEVER RULES THE SEAS, RULES THE WORLD, refers to the Navel power of nations. If a nation's Navy could rule the sea lanes, it could rule the world. State rule and power and authority have been challenging God and His rule for millennia. But one day the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ, and He shall reign forever and ever.

Satan is called, THE PRINCE OF THE POWER OF THE AIR, which refers to his power by evil force and spiritual rule. He has ruled the communications through radio, movies, television, internet. He is a spirit that systematically rules the earth through demonic power. Individuals and nations bow to his will. But JESUS IS LORD. Not only does Christ have authority of the god of this world today, Christ will imprison, cast away and punish the Prince of Darkness, for all eternity.

Don't let the ebb and flow of daily, changes and momentary accomplishments of evil undermine your faith in the One and Only, True and Living God of the Holy Bible. God will reign supreme and forever. Jesus is LORD.

JESUS SETS US FREE, refers to the fact that Jesus, through His sacrificial death and physical resurrection from the dead, delivers those who trust Him, believe Him. We are set free from sin and the bondage of death. Our freedom comes in this present evil world and it continues throughout eternity. We are free in Christ, free indeed, free forever.
