The Spirit and Liberty

TODAY’S READING: 2 Corinthians 4:7–12

Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. -2 Corinthians 3:17

Juneteenth is our family’s Fourth of July. With parades, barbecues, fireworks, and family reunions, we’ve come together to celebrate liberation of the Black body and soul.

Although joyous, Juneteenth filled my young mind with confusion. Sunday sermons said Christ died for all our sins. Why did the God who loved us and died for us allow us to be brutalized? How was I free and equal, yet on the receiving end of inequality?
