August 16, 2015: The Truth Will Set You Free – Michael Hidalgo

Many in Jesus’ day did not think they needed liberation from anything. They had the fast track to God, the privilege of wealth and the convenience of power. And therein lies the problem, how do you tell those who believe they are free they are actually enslaved? One thing is for sure, when that message is spoken, the privileged rarely give up their positions of power without a fight. 

We are far more like the Pharisees, Sadducees, the Romans and even the Tax Collectors, than we would like to admit. We “have it all” – and that is the very thing that enslaves us. So what would it look like for us to wake up to the ways our privilege has, in fact, enslaved us?
