In a democratic nation, people set their own laws, govern as the people decide, and exercise individual rights. But is that the extent of genuine freedom? Alistair Begg dispels the misconception that freedom merely means the liberty to do what we want without accountability. True liberation is found when Jesus Christ frees us from the bonds of sin and we humbly submit to Him as our Master.
14oAnd Jesus returned pin the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and qa report about him went out through all the surrounding country. 15And rhe taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
16sAnd he came to tNazareth, where he had been brought up. And uas was his custom, vhe went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up wto read. 17And xthe scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written,
18y“The Spirit of the Lord zis upon me,
