Today I present you with a liberating article by Mick Mooney. Enjoy it and be set free. Bob Lipsys
Religion
thrives and succeeds by keeping people's sins the central problem
within the human experience. Enter Jesus, who succeeded by making the
hypocrisy of the religious leaders the central problem within the human
experience.
Yes, they killed him because of it, but he did
rise again, and his message is still the same. God loves you, right
here, right now, and his focus in not on your sins, but on your heart,
and your heart he loves perfectly—and if any religious clergyman tries
to shame you with the weapon of your supposed sins, Jesus is still
standing up for you, defending you against religious condemners with
their stones, declaring: “Woe to you, teachers of the Bible and
Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in
people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those
enter who are trying to.”
Every time someone tries to shame and
judge you, there is Jesus, ready to defend you. That's who he is.
That's why he is our Savior. That's why he is the perfect representation
of Love. Religion's interest is in keeping you submissive to its
demands. God's interest is in liberating you from all fear so you can
truly live a life defined by freedom and love.
It is for freedom Christ set you free, be free then. Live daringly. Love outrageously.
