From Slavery to Greatness

By Jerry Ousley

Sometimes we’ve just got to learn to keep our mouths shut. That’s a lot easier said than done. When we were children living in Northern Indiana, there was one cold Saturday during which my brother became extremely bored. He gazed out the window with a deep hunger to be outside. There would be tons of stuff to do out there, and here he was cooped up in the house. He couldn’t take it any longer and so he worked up the nerve to ask Mom, “Can I go outside?”

“You can’t go out there! It’s cold and you might get sick!” came the reply. He thought about it a bit and then defended, “It’s not that cold. I’ll be alright. And besides,” he continued, “I won’t get muddy because all the mud puddles are froze up!” He had said too much.

God wants to take us from slavery to greatness. A few articles ago we talked about being slaves to Christ. But the slavery we’re speaking of today is the slavery of this age. Our Lord wants to lift us up from our bondage of sin and our burdens and set us on the high plateau of greatness. (more…)
