The Son has Set Us Free, Indeed

The Son has Set Us Free, Indeed

It is believed that this portion of John has been read as the Gospel text on Reformation Sunday for the last half century or so. And perhaps it would only be nerdy me who would be interested in looking back on five decades’ worth of sermons to see how the perspective has changed with “If the Son makes you free, you will be free, indeed.” Now, of course, the smart preachers would stick with sin, death, forces of evil: the seemingly theologically correct responses. But what if Martin Luther and Scripture and even Jesus Christ himself would invite you to dig a little deeper. If you had to be brutally honest, without the best scholars and pastors and the most intimidating Lutheran Confirmation teachers questioning you: deep-down, what else do you wish to be freed from?...

Published  Wednesday, October 28, 2026 Pastor Brad Ross 255
With the first congregation I served with out of seminary, there was Alice. Alice was one of those church individuals who must have been under the impression that God was nudging her to keep tabs on her second family of sorts, her siblings in Christ, as they walked in the main entrance doors into the narthex area. She would sit on that pew in that socially delicate area with those who just wanted to get to their seats in the sanctuary, as well as those who wanted to verbally process all the life events from the week before. And although Alice had her quirks and her fair share of gruffness, to be sure, she cherished each one who came into those entrance doors just the same. So maybe she was under the impression (even if she pulled it off in her own…unique way at times) that she was called by God to not only be the church’s welcoming committee, of sorts, but to embody the Divine hospitality to all who entered that holy/delicate space: those who had been coming every Sunday for decades,...
