If the Son therefore shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. -John 8:36

Ah! that moment when first the bondage (of sin) passed away! Methinks I recollect it now. I saw Jesus on His cross before me; I thought on Him, and as I mused upon His death and sufferings, methought I saw Him cast a look on me; and when He gazed on me, I looked at Him, and said,

“Jesus, lover of my soul,
Let me to thy bosom fly.”

He said “come,” and I flew to Him and clasped Him; and when He let me go again, I wondered where my burden was. It was gone! There, in the sepulchre, it lay, and I felt light as air; like a winged sylph, I could fly over mountains of trouble and despair; and oh! what liberty and joy I had! I could leap with ecstasy for I had much forgiven, and now I was freed from sin.” Beloved, this is the first liberty of the children of God. “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” from the bondage of sin. ~ C.H. Spurgeon
