Ccf Sunday Messages

Continuing our study of John, we are in the midst of a long conversation between Jesus and the religious leaders in Jerusalem. In this section Jesus makes a claim that "truth will set you free"--what did they (and we!) need set free from? The bondage of sin--when we commit sin it takes control of us and we become its slave. As hard as it was for the religious leaders to hear this message, it is hard for us today--we want to say "we have never been a slave to anyone!", but if we are in sin, we are being mastered by it, but Jesus has the truth that will set us free!
