Micah 2:13
"The breaker is come up before them:"
And there comes to each of us a mighty Deliverer, who breaks the gates of brass, and who cuts the bars of iron in pieces. Christ comes to us! By His death He has borne away the guilt; by His living Spirit He will bear away the dominion of sin from our hearts; and if the Son will make us free we shall be free indeed. I pray you believe in that deep truth, which the Lord Christ has spoken in words that carry conviction in their very simplicity to every conscience: "He that committeth sin is the slave of sin." To us all ‘the Breaker is gone up before us,’ the prison gates are open. Follow His steps, and take the freedom which He gives; and be sure that you "stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made you free, and be not entangled again with any yoke of bondage."
Men and women! Some of you are the slaves of your own lusts. Some of you are held in bondage by some habit that you abominate, but cannot get away from. Here is freedom for you. The dark walls of the prison are around us all. "The Scripture hath shut up all in sin, that He might have mercy upon all." Blessed be His name! As the angel came to the sleeping Apostle, and with his light touch on the iron gates they swung open on their hinges, and Roman soldiers who ought to have watched their prey were lulled to sleep, and chains that held the limbs dropped as if melted; so, silently, in His meek and merciful strength, Christ comes to us all, and the iron gate which leadeth out into freedom opens of its own accord at His touch, and the chains fall from our limbs, and we go forth free men. "The Breaker is gone up before us."
Amen!
