As the largest land animal in existence, the elephant generates an extraordinary fascination for us. It’s no wonder that zoos around the world keep numbers of these huge animals for public viewing. Unfortunately, the Toronto zoo has lost seven elephants since 1984, due to cold winters and lack of adequate space. Experts advise that more comfortable facilities need to be found for the remaining elephants. In other words, “if you love them, set them free.” Of course freedom is not only important to animals but for people too – often we feel bound by habits, problems and relationships, and feel much like an animal in a zoo. Look up! Freedom is available. Jesus has said, “You shall know the truth, and the true shall set you free.” And that truth is that, though we are all spiritually needy, Christ paid our sin debt on the cross, and offers to forgive us and set us free.
