God Has Set Us Free from Ourselves – Easter is not just a historical event from 2,000 years ago—it is a living reality that continues to unfold in our lives today. At its heart, Easter represents the death of the old so that new life can rise. Like a seed that must fall and break open before it can grow, we too must allow parts of ourselves to die—false identities, heavy burdens, and old mindsets—to step into the fullness of the life God has prepared for us.
Often, we are the ones holding ourselves captive—tied down by past regrets, fear, unrealistic expectations, or our need for control. But Jesus came to set us free—not just from sin, but from the self that keeps us bound. We are like fragile clay jars, carrying the light of God within us. Sometimes, we forget the treasure we hold. Yet it is through our cracks—our brokenness—that His light shines most powerfully.
This journey of freedom isn’t rushed. It requires trust, surrender, and patience as God works deeply within us. But as we let Christ live fully in us, true freedom begins—not by striving, but by surrendering.
May we let go. Trust God. And step boldly into the abundant life and lasting freedom that Jesus has already secured for us. (Luke 17:33 & John 12:24)
