I sin so ISA slave

John 8:34

Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, everyone who sins is a slave to sin.

I was born a slave.  Owned, didn’t have a say.  Beaten sometimes, raped even, for I was nothing, but dirt.  I didn’t matter. I had no purpose for what had me captive. For what kept me in chains.  I didn’t have a chance; it was truly over before I started.  And I could do nothing, pay nothing, trade anything, do great things, nothing could I do to release my bonds from my master.  Now who was this master?  This master is powerful, convincing, sneaky, dirty, and sick.  Selfish, thinks of no one but itself.  It wants you to believe that you can only win if you do what it says.  This master doesn’t care about your well being but your well desires.  This master name is sin.  And as soon as I was born, it was in me. Passed down from many generations, well all generations, passed from the first right on down to august 18^th 1989 Jordan Cole was born.  A flesh that burned to praise and worship but chose to not have it be our creator.  It wanted to be the creator, it wanted to be the right. But as we all know it was the wrong.  And like I said I am a slave to this and there is nothing I can do to have it release me.  But my Creator, the one who not only knows the truth, that being the flesh can neither be the right or the wrong just a creation to love God and live for Him with all and all that he is, but is truth.  He can do something to make this right, to make things fall back into their place.  It was His call to have us be forgiven.  And He did. He set us free from being a slave to sin.  From being not able to say no to what we thought was right, but to listen and do all from that Who made us.  He paid the price that we couldn’t.  We couldn’t even die to be released, but He could, and He did.  He wanted us free so bad from all the evil that was now in us, He loved us so much to see us live in love, He died for us.  He tells us the truth. We are a slave to sin because we sin, but we can be set free by accepting His gift and His gift alone. Jesus Christ who dies for us all to be free.

Application:

Today I will ask Him to reveal a sin I am still enslave to.
