Psalm 2:3 “Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.”

Self-will rejects restraint. Pride will not yield to rule. Licentiousness surmounts all barriers. Conceited reason lifts up defiant head.The gentle scepter of Christ’s kingdom, His sweet, His light, His easy, and His loving yoke, are hated as bands which curb and cords which fetter. When Jesus came, earth raised the cry, “We will not have this man to reign over us.” It still resounds. When will man learn that widest liberty is true submission to the Gospel sway? He is a free man whom the Son makes free.
