The Birth of Freedom
I really appreciated the perspective this preview brought about the revolutionary importance of freedom, connecting with biblical times, the Middle Ages, and more recent struggles. Especially in regard to the mass prevalence of slavery during Bible times - think what it must have meant for Paul to write to the early Christians, “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery” (Galatians 5:1). Spiritual freedom - a poignant idea considering the lack of physical freedom during so much of human history.

Great video and thoughts.
“Freedom” is a term carelessly tossed around nowadays, but it’s meaning and message will always be preserved because of Scripture and history. Praise God.
this was interesting. look forward to seeing it when it comes out.
