The Gospel lesson for this Sunday is from John, where Jesus talks about true freedom. How people act and what they do with their freedoms depends on factors such as how they were raised, politics, friends, societal influences and faith.
Jesus’ freedom is a bit different. He has freed people from the slavery of sin. which keeps people from God, who is all good and all loving. Jesus has given people a place by his side, but, they need to accept it.
