SWEET FREEDOM
DAILY DEVOTIONAL: Take Up Arms, So Says Jesus

He said tho them, “But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don’t have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.” - Luke 22:36
I encourage
people to carry a gun…because a cop is too heavy.
Jesus told
His disciples to be ready to defend themselves. He wanted them armed in case
they had to beat back thieves, cutthroats, and other bad guys. They didn’t hide
their swords; they were, you might say, practitioners of open carry!
Jesus wasn’t delicate, vulnerable, or timid. My
husband, Todd, often points out that all those much later artistic depictions
of Jesus with long shiny hair, flowing robes, and flip-flops give exactly the
wrong impression. Jesus is Lord. He is King. He is a warrior and our protector.
He is God Almighty. He is our fortress, our refuge, our strength. He withstood
the devil. He triumphed over death. His Word is victory.
Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a
purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let
him sell his garment, and buy one. – Luke 22:36 (KJV)

Sweet Freedom in Action
Today, remember that God always wants what is best for us – and that includes our safety. We should follow the example of His disciples and be ready to defend ourselves and our loved ones from evil.

Peacemakers are not pacifists.
