Jesus Christ signed the letter of independence for us, with blood
Andrés Cisterna(Audio: Spanish)
I thank the Lord for the opportunity to be with you today and I want to invite you to open your Bible to the book of Colossians, chapter 2, verses 13 and 14. How many went to see the fireworks on the 4th of July when it is celebrated the day of the independence of the United States? Most of us are born in other countries. Do you remember when your country's independence day is? Yeah? They enjoy it there, isn't it true, they eat all the typical meals that day and the next day they feel guilty for having gained a few pounds. It is interesting to be able to understand this issue of independence, but I was reading on a social media portal and a concept about independence caught my attention. It was written in Spanish and it spoke a little of the feeling that affected those who were being colonized by the British Empire in those times.
There came a time when the British empire began to do so many things that there was a group of people around this nation, here in these areas, who began to declare some things until in the end they decided to separate, become independent from the British crown empire. It was interesting because among the things that this little statement that I read said, it said, 'we no longer want to depend on the economy that you dictate to us, we no longer want you to tell us how we should live and politically assume this nation. We no longer want to depend on you in what are the military terms. We no longer want to have your religious concept from you, we want to become independent." To the point that at the end of the statement he says, "deep down, if you don't want us to make our wishes come true, then we are going to cut off relations with you. .'
