Dream Big

Rev. 1:5b

-"To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood,"

Do we really believe that sin is our problem?--That life will really be better off if we walk free from it? We dream about the future--where we'd like to be 10 years from now. We dream big of promotions, starting a business, boats and sound systems, weddings, holidays with the family, traveling to Italy or Israel or Istanbul (you'll have to ask me about that one). But how often do we dream about walking free from sin? How often do we look ahead to 10 years from now and imagine ourselves walking with victory over the pride that hinders our relationships at work, the selfishness that kills our marriages, the envy and lust that eat away at us from the inside out? This verse tells us these chains that rob us of God's joy are ones from which we've been set free. Why do we not dream more about the working out of this freedom?
