A Guiding Light!

Like any tool, a flashlight helps one do things. It helps you find your way when the light blows out in the basement or garage. It helps you walk outside in the dark and be seen by traffic. It helps you find your key in the dark outside your door.
Liberty too is a guiding light as much as the Statue of Liberty's torch in New York Harbor that lit the way to freedom for countless immigrants to the United States. Liberty is mentioned in the Bible more than once. My favorite is in the Letter of James in the New Testament. Sometimes translated freedom it is mentioned as the law we are to behave as judged by ultimately. Not the Ten Commandments or the entire Jewish code of diet and festivals and relationships in marriage, but the law of perfect liberty.
Liberty can guide you on how to lead a life free from guilt by being at liberty to perform any harmless act only and have a conscious clear of bloodshed or injury to others. Some would take their liberty to mean they can do as they please, forgetting that means they are at liberty to get in a whole lot of trouble and feel rather bad if they have any sense of fair play. The Apostle Paul warns to be blameless as well as harmless. That is good advice to keep from messy legal entanglements.
Some would have us stop the following of Sin and follow them or their leader, even Jesus is offered as the new leader, but if one is ever going to grow up and be a child of God too one cannot follow around one's oldest brother all the time and needs a guiding light of one's own!
So one can live one's life playing Simon says with lawgivers or follow the leader with a revered figure or one can start growing up and learn to bear a torch for your harmless liberty and set yourself free. It seems not many are willing to take someone to freedom.
