Freedom vs Slavery: Jesus the Master vs satan the taskmaster.

For a long time in my life, i was satan's slave. Of course i didn't think i was or even accepted the idea that i could be, but the "naked" truth is: satan was my taskmaster. I say taskmaster in reference to those appointed by pharaoh to afflict the Israelites: Exodus 1:8-11. Unfortunately, many people in our churches are in bondage (slaves) to satan, like i used to, they don't admit they are, they just think that life has to be "miserable", that's because we live in a fallen world and we would never experience absolute freedom. By thinking like that, they are (like i used to) contradicting Jesus Christ, because He said in John 8:36. So, Jesus was either lying or telling the truth, again He said in John 14:6. In other words: If you think there's no such a thing as total freedom, than for you, there's no total Jesus! Of course, the devil is very crafty (cunning), he will many times, as the Bible says in 2 Corinthians 11:14, show himself as an angelical, marvelous, beautiful, kind and friendly "dude", but in fact he is only deceiving, "behind the curtains", he is orchestrating a cunning plan in order to steal, kill or destroy, as Jesus says in John 10:10. Unfortunately, is not only satan that is working in the slavery business, there are many wicked people acting as taskmasters, afflicting others for personal gain. I wish this was only happening outside the church, but unfortunately it is also happening inside the church. Of course this is nothing new, as Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 1:9. Jesus and His Apostles dealt with the taskmasters, pharisees and other hypocrites, who put burdens on people's shoulders, but they didn't even touched those burdens. Matthew 23:4. Some of my clients (i drive a cab) complaint that they are doing the work that two or three people used to do, yet making the same money but working very long hours, as they see their CEO's giving themselves huge bonuses, millions of dollars. If they say something, they are threatened. Isn't this a "modern" slavery? No wonder things are going from bad to worse. We live in a society where pets are more valuable than babies, kill a baby (abortion) and you will "be fine", kill a pet and you will "receive a fine" (if not jail time). are you free indeed? Only Jesus Christ can set you free! If you believe you are in bondage, commit yourself fully and unconditionally to Him, and He will set you free.
