The Son ... or sun

On August 17, 2017, Ringgold had almost a total eclipse of the sun.  As close as Athens, Tennessee, it was totality.  But here, we just had the “golden ring effect” which is only a sparkle of the sun peeking around the moon which was blocking the sun.  But just as the moon was blocking the sun, our sin blocks us from the Son (of God, that is).  We can’t see Jesus because our lives are clouded by sin.  But we are promised freedom in Jesus Christ.  With Jesus, we are no longer bound by sin.  Jesus said on Himself in John 8:36, “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”  We are free from serving sin.  And when we are forgiven of our sin, we can see the Son just like we can see the sun after a total eclipse.  Hey, are you free from the power of sin?  You can find freedom from sin by trusting in Jesus Christ.  Trust Him right now.
