Bound to be Free

No one is quite so free as the one who feels his freedom in Christ while shackled with the world's chains.

Sometimes, and perhaps as we grow in grace most often, the power of God is not to deliver you from a situation but through and in that situation itself, so others, who are not Christians or who are weak in the faith, they can see what a mature believer would do in the same situation. Sometimes God has us bound in order to show others what God's true freedom is. Sometimes God has to imprison you to deliver someone else! When everyone is in the same dark place, who do they look for? It is the one with the light, like the one who is bound to be free by being a slave to Christ.
