The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the Lord and against the Anointed One. “Let us break their chains,” they say, “and throw off their fetters. (Psalm 2:2, 3 - NIV)
Have you ever seen a circus elephant tied to post by a thin rope and wonder why the 10,000 pound elephant does not just break free? Trainers will tell you that it is because from a very early age the same size rope was tied around its leg; the small elephant was unable to break the rope and therefore was conditioned to believe that even as a full grown elephant he could not break free from that which bound him. Christians are much the same; we have been conditioned from birth to be bound by the things of this earth though through the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ we have the power to break free. The rope that binds the elephant is real however the chains that bind the Christian only feel real. The bible tells us that any and all earthly chains (sin) have been broken (Romans 6:18). We are loosed from this world and are bound by the spiritual. So as Christians, if there are no chains to bind us to this earth, why do we have such difficulty walking in the spiritual? Like the elephant it is the years of conditioning that binds us not the chain. Sin is the chain that binds us, but it has been removed. Conditioning tells us that the ever present temptation is a chain that binds; not so, temptation is merely a way to test our freedom. Be free in Christ
