But now that you have been freed from sin and enslaved to God, the advantage you get is sanctification. The end is eternal life.
(Romans 6.22
NRSV)
There was once a story from St. Louis about Karen Hickey, a 22-year-old secretary who had often wondered how it felt to be handcuffed. She found out the hard way. She tried on some old handcuffs that her boss had brought to the office. Unfortunately she forgot to ask if the boss had a key to the cuffs. She remained handcuffed for two hours until firemen working with electric cutters freed her.
There are people who live their entire lives in handcuffs, as it were, because of fear. And they never realize that Christ has the key.
Loving God, thank you for helping me to find the key! Amen.
