04 • Jesus Saved Me From… SeriesGalatians 4:21-5:1On January 1, 1863, while the United States was in the middle of a Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing anyone enslaved. In Galatians 4, Paul wrote a letter to a group of Christians in Asia Minor to remind them that Jesus, through his death, burial and resurrection, also issued an Emancipation Proclamation. We have been freed from the power and control of our spiritual slavery. But we have a choice to make – A choice between living under the elements of the world or as a child of God.So Paul reminds us of two powerful truths:1. Don’t return to the chains that Jesus broke.2. Jesus didn’t set you free to live in bondage to others. “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery” (Ephesians 5:1).
