Purim is a reminder once again, of our God (Yahweh), the God of Providence, who freed the Jewish nation from the hand of Haman. This is the One true God, whose promises are ageless and whose promise of restoration included sending Jesus God’s only son, to be a substitute offering in our place. This broke the chains of sin, so that we could have freedom.

In this season of Lent, let us not only give up the external things, but let us reflect on the internal chains that have bound us and kept us in captivity in many other areas of our lives. Jesus came to set the captives free. Are you free?

Gal 5:1 NIRV - “Christ has set us free. He wants us to enjoy freedom. So stand firm. Don’t let the chains of slavery hold you again.“
