The Son Remains Forever

34 Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. 35 The slave does not remain in the house forever; the son remains forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. 37 I know that you are offspring of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me because my word finds no place in you. 38 I speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father.”
John 8:34-38

The Son Remains Forever

Sin has bound us all in slavery and in death. This the way the father of lies likes it. Satan, the great deceiver, wants you to stay in your sin. This is not the will of the Heavenly Father. He desires that you be rescued and transformed from death to life. He sends his Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, to break the bonds and free his people. He sends Jesus to the cross to conquer death and death couldn’t not hold him. In victory he triumphed over even the darkest and most powerful of all our captors. Jesus makes you sons. Sons remain forever. Jesus makes you free. You are free indeed. He puts this on you in your Baptism. He washes you and presents you to himself. You are his beloved. This is the Father’s will. Jesus completes it.
