John 8:31-42

We all know some super religious person who we just wish they would take a chill pill. They are good people who mean well but man they are wound up tight as a golf ball. Heck I was that zealous once. I remember when I was heading to Hukuntsi in the desert land of the Kalahari to convert the bushmen and my lovely Irish novice master pulled me aside. He said “Brother Robert, please remember this, before you get there, God is already there.”

My word will make you free. Jesus says to us today that when the word of God finds a home in us it will make us free. Are you free? Free to be yourself, free to relax in his word, free to make mistakes and not learn from them. The free person is content. Lots of those Pharisees were trying to fill their lives with things including religion. We need one thing-His word to find a home in us
