John 8:36
**We don’t have to stay connected to our past sins. Joseph’s
brothers struggled with this. Years after they sold him into slavery, they
recalled their cruelty and feared revenge (Genesis 50:15) so they sent a
message to Joseph begging for forgiveness (vv 16-17). They did this despite
merciful actions and reassurances from their brother.
Many of us remain connected to age-old offences despite
mercy and forgiveness from those we may have hurt. However, true freedom comes
when we confess our wrongdoing to God. He forgives it and separates us from it
(Psalm 103: 12).
As one verse puts it, He throws our sins into the depths of
the sea! (Micah 7:19). Because of this, we can remind ourselves that the Son
has made us free, and we are free indeed!**
