Happy 4th, Independence, or Liberty Day! I purposely titled this post Liberty because I have been thinking about this weekend in a different way then I usually do. My thoughts were led to Liberty Jail and essentially the ironic name of the jail. Joseph Smith endured some very hard things while in the jail, but really he was liberated or made free in time. He paved the way for our church to worship freely in this country.
In that same aspect, only bigger, Christ liberated us from so many things, namely our sins. As one person put it today in church, "we are free to choose, but choosing the right really brings freedom." When we sin or fall short we are held captive by our choices and addictions. Only Christ could liberate us and truly give us independence.
Thanks for that post Mindi. Insightful.
