GEMS from HEAVEN: Revelation 4:3; 21:10-21
Are you a prisoner to alcoholism, drugs, the love of money, selfish ambitions, prejudice, immorality, bitterness, the fear of death and other ungodly behaviors?
Here is the GEM: Jesus came to set man free from such devices. It was accomplished through His death, burial & resurrection. We can only obtained this freedom, never to be held captive again, by following His directives. Now this is a prison break worth doing.
And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read. And the book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. And He opened the book and found the place where it was written, "THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED, TO PROCLAIM THE FAVORABLE YEAR OF THE LORD." And He closed the book, gave it back to the attendant and sat down; and the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on Him. And He began to say to them, "Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing."
