Being Enslaved

Freedom is a tough issue, because, it bears the marks of pain on the backs of those who seek it. Freedom it turns out, isn't free, unless Jesus is right; in which case it is, but if that is the case, then we really should look closely at what sort of doctrine approach we take toward those who aren't able to make it on their own? Right now the approach from many Christian's is, "let the lazy so and so get a job, like me!" Which is an interesting expression of love, what that really says is, "I'm not really thrilled with that I'm doing to make my way in this world, so I want you to come join me in my miserable condition." Being honest about it, that's really what is being said, and being honest about it, that is not what Jesus said at all, and they know it. What then do we do? The hard response is, we turn to Christ and as simple as it seems, we seek His will in the matter, but here is what He will say:
Jhn 6:28 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
As you read on you discover a conflict between Jesus and the hardliners about rules and law- in their love of the law and the commands of God, they left out His heart, in America in our love of soaking up His grace with out materialistic pursuits, we have excluded God while pretending not to, what's the difference? As I'm writing this I'm watching the efforts of some to work a person who is coming out of a tough background who has trouble finding work, he is being given work by them, and also, they are going the extra mile of trying to be as kind to him with their resources as possible- note that: with their resources; once again, it has to be asked, who formulated this course of action with this person, them, or God? Only they know, but one has to be wondering how it is going to turn out in so far as the potential disciple is concerned? What lesson is he really learning about the love of God in what they have Him doing? The issue isn't balance, Jesus doesn't use the word one time in his ministry, because it isn't about balance, it is about love, what love are we teaching people when they just exchange one form of Egypt for another, when what we should be teaching them is FREEDOM! Jesus cried out for FREEDOM not materialistic enslavement! Why on earth can't we hear the true heart of our Lord saying there is another way, that way is - LOVE! Jhn 13:35 By this shall all [men] know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.
