Isaiah 9:4 10/17/2017*11/4*

“For as in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor”

The coming of the Messiah brought freedom from burdens and oppression.  He shattered the yoke of slavery and broke the rod used to oppress His children.  That is what God does.

Has He done that for you?  Have you been set you free? 

We have somehow been duped into believing God came to enslave us… to load us down with rules and regulations and make our lives difficult.    But we had already done that to ourselves.

He came to break the chains of sin, to shatter the burden of the law, and to set us free to love Him as our Father. 

There is a song by Zach Williams called “Chain Breaker” and that is what God does.  In fact, the Gospel is the story of Jesus breaking the chains and redeeming you, back into freedom.

If your heart is burdened today and you think God wants to load more rules on your back, then you have been lied to… He came to save you.  He came to carry you through the storm you face today. His love for you put Jesus on the cross, and you can rest assured that no chain is stronger than His blood.

Come to Jesus today as your deliverer. Trust Him as your Savior and accept His gift of restoration. Rest in His love for you and feel the chains that bind you begin to fall away.


“If you’ve got pain - He’s a pain taker,
If you feel lost -  He’s a way maker
If you need freedom or saving He’s a prison-shaking Savior
If you’ve got chains - He’s a chain breaker”
Zach Williams
