Freedom

Jesus taught that there are those who “tie up heavy loads and put them on men’s shoulders”.  Jesus was referring to the man-made laws that men had developed so that by upholding these laws, people could stay in ‘right standing’ with God.  Jesus revealed in Matthew 11 that these ‘man-made laws’ were a burden to the people.  He then gave an invitation to those who were burdened and loaded down to come to Him.  Jesus gave a contrast to what man had done by stating that His yoke was easy and His burden was light.  As followers of Jesus, we have freedom in Christ to live our lives according to His teachings.  It was Jesus Who said that Truth sets us free.  Being authentic in our worship and in our life as followers of Jesus is one part of what it means to be set free by God’s Truth.  A priority of Fusion Church is for each of us to learn what it means to live by His truth and not by man’s religious laws.
