Freedom to Worship

Reflections on Hebrews 2:14-15

The death and resurrection of Jesus grants and guarantees us the freedom to worship and serve God without fear of death. That freedom never has been nor ever will be guaranteed by the right to bear arms. It was won by one who volunteered to die that those who executed him might live. That freedom is exercised by those willing to show the same unmerited love to those who would kill them. That freedom is guaranteed by the power that raised Jesus from the grave.
