Bondage
September 13, 2011
Everyone struggles with different things, and some of those things may be physically visible while other things may be in their mind that no one can see. The fact is that everyone is in bondage, held captive by a master. While we all started as slaves to sin, because of the price that Jesus paid by dying on the cross when we were the ones who deserved death we can be freed from our bondage to sin and alive as slaves to righteousness. We are always going to be a slave to something, but if we choose to be a slave to God in righteousness we will find freedom in the blood of Christ that cleanses us from the things that has held us bondage in our past.

The story of the Prodigal Son can be used for two different situations. The first situation is for someone who has never known God and come to the end of themselves, realizing that the world has nothing to offer them and they come home to the Father’s welcoming open arms. The second way this story can be used is in reference to a Christian who leaves “home” to pursue a life that has nothing to do with God until they decide to return. The fact is that no matter how far you get away from God, you can never be too far to come home to Him. Because of Christ’s sacrifice for us and God’s mercy and grace we are always welcomed home and all of heaven rejoices.

There comes times in our lives where God allows us to be broken, whether to let go of something we have been holding onto or to discipline us in order so that we may change our ways. No matter what the reason is for our brokenness, God promises restoration if we come back to Him. Similar to the story of the Prodigal Son, God is awaiting for our return home so that He may clothe us in a fine robe, ring and sandals, showing to all others that we are His beloved children. Rather than seeking out other options for healing in the midst of our brokenness, it is important that we allow God to heal us because only the King can put us back together again.
