Free?

John 8:31-32

Then Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you continue in my word, you are truly my disciples; and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free.”

Simple words...

Simple message...

But a concept that sends folk off

into an unending spiral

of conflict

and doubt

and worry

and concern

and question

and debate...

Words that are used

for inclusion

and exclusion

for acceptance 

and rejection

So much for... and the truth will make you free.”
