Love Frees Us

Hebrews 2:14-15
…through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, and free those who through fear of death had been subject to slavery all their life.

By becoming human Jesus showed us the path to life. In the end…love wins…not death. Following Jesus example of loving God and all people frees us from the worldly attachments that we sometimes cling to due to our fear of death. Through Jesus’ life, death and resurrection…we see that there is nothing to fear in death. He shows us the path to wholeness and becoming our “true selves.” It’s the path of dying and rising. We follow that process over and over in our lives. By living a life of love and letting go of any attachments we will simply move freely into the joy of God when this life ends. As Jesus said over and over: Do not fear!
