“Hey buddy…wanna buy a watch?”
Have you ever been on the receiving end of a bait and switch? You’re enticed to purchase an apparent bargain (say, a Rolex from a street vendor) but receive a vastly inferior product (it tarnishes quickly and doesn’t keep time).
Sin is constantly making us such offers regarding our freedom. It promises greater liberties, but we end up more entangled.
This week in our series, New or New-ish, the Apostle Paul encourages us to make an exchange that will bring true and lasting freedom.
