To preach deliverance to the captives. --Luke 4.18 When Jesus sets free, the liberty is perpetually entailed; no chains can bind again. Let the Master say to me, Captive, I have delivered thee, and it is done for ever. Satan may plot to enslave us, but if the Lord be on our side, whom shall we fear? The world, with its temptations, may seek to ensnare us, but mightier is He who is for us than all they who be against us. The machinations of our own deceitful hearts may harass and annoy us, but He who hath begun the good work in us will carry it on and perfect it to the end. The foes of God and the enemies of man may gather their hosts together, and come with concentrated fury against us, but if God acquitteth, who is he that condemneth? Not more free is the eagle which mounts to his rocky eyrie, and afterwards outsoars the clouds, than the soul which Christ hath delivered. If we are no more under the law, but free from its curse, let our liberty be practically exhibited in our serving God with gratitude and delight. I am Thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: Thou hast loosed my bonds. Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?
