SABRINA
Today as we celebrate 4th of July, we remember the price paid for our freedom. In that
same spirit, there is a story about William Tyndale, an Englishman, who in 1525
translated and was able to publish a New Testament in English. Church authorities at
the time were not pleased and they angrily sought and brought Tyndale back to
England where he was burned at the stake. As he was dying, he uttered these words:
"Lord, open the eyes of the King of England." His prayer became a prophecy, as it was
the King of England, King James, went on to publish the entire Bible in English about
a hundred years later.
This Independence Day, don't let your Bible sit on the shelf gathering dust.
Let the freedom we enjoy on this day serve as a reminder of the freedom and
forgiveness we have in Jesus Christ. William Tyndale offered his life so we could read
about this spiritual freedom in our own language.
As we celebrate our earthly freedom this Independence Day, let us also celebrate
eternal freedom.
