Freedom is the core cry of every heart. And while we search tirelessly for a measure of freedom through institutions, the right lifestyle, or a better mental state, Scripture invites us to the only trustworthy path to find true freedom.

It’s pretty common to settle for second best, especially when we aren’t aware of anything better. Jesus arrived to offer us something better, in every area of life. Let’s learn how to move past second best and set our eyes on something better.

The year of Jubilee is one of the most significant and inspiring concepts we see in Scripture. The promise that debts will be cancelled for the good others isn’t just what Jesus eventually did for us, but what we’re called to do for one another.

Jesus didn’t offer us freedom from afar, but he won our freedom by making his dwelling among us. And now as His followers, we not only benefit from his redemptive move, but we’re called to do the same for others.

Science reveals that giving is like a drug. We get an emotional high from giving, it creates a positive relational bond with those to whom we give and it can even be addictive! So why don’t we all do it more? Our resistance to giving is often rooted in our lack of freedom. Let’s learn how God set us free, so that we can freely give away what He’s given us.
