The text traces freedom’s appeal across history, then contrasts political or military liberators with Jesus as the true emancipator. It describes Christ’s invitation to renounce burdens, follow freely, and challenges authority and fear. Baptism and grace are framed as the pathway to a life of spiritual liberty, culminating in a discussion of whether religious life visibly reflects this freedom.",{"@graph":14,"@context":73},[15,34,56],{"@type":16,"itemListElement":17},"BreadcrumbList",[18,23,27,31],{"item":19,"name":20,"@type":21,"position":22},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",1,{"item":24,"name":25,"@type":21,"position":26},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/","Document",2,{"item":28,"name":29,"@type":21,"position":30},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/religion-spirituality/","Religion & Spirituality",3,{"item":32,"name":10,"@type":21,"position":33},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/sponsa-recis-a-spiritual-review-for-sis-ters-february-1965-volume-36-number-6/321746/",4,{"url":32,"name":10,"@type":35,"image":36,"author":41,"headline":10,"publisher":44,"fileFormat":47,"inLanguage":8,"description":12,"dateModified":48,"datePublished":49,"encodingFormat":47,"isAccessibleForFree":50,"interactionStatistic":51},"DigitalDocument",{"url":37,"@type":38,"width":39,"height":40},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/sponsa-recis-a-spiritual-review-for-sis-ters-february-1965-volume-36-number-6/321746.png","ImageObject",300,407,{"name":42,"@type":43},"Ivy","Person",{"url":19,"name":45,"@type":46},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-10-08","2026-09-21",true,{"@type":52,"interactionType":53,"userInteractionCount":55},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":54},"ViewAction",6,{"@type":57,"mainEntity":58},"FAQPage",[59,65,69],{"name":60,"@type":61,"acceptedAnswer":62},"What does the article say freedom is and why it matters to people?","Question",{"text":63,"@type":64},"Freedom is described as a desired good that stirs people in every age.

which has stirred men in every age,from the Machabean revolutionaries to the Negro demonstratorsin the United States.Where it is present,men jealously watchand protect it;where it is absent,no effort,even death,is con-sidered too much to possess it.Countries take pride in theirindependence,peoples relish freedom,individuals constantly demandfreedom.Without it,a man is not a man.  \nThose particular men who,through a happy combination oftalents,providence,and the propitious moment have led a peopleout of some type of oppression or bondage to a new existence asfree,independent people,are the men most admired and remem-bered.It is the spirit of such men as Moses,Judas Machabeus,Daniel O'Connell,Simon Bolivar,Abraham Lincoln or Martin LutherKing which a people tries to keep alive.The laws followed by apeople are followed only because they preserve a spirit,not becausea law is to be followed.When this spirit is not present,when theleader’s influence is gone,laws lose their meaning and a people dies.  \nThe greatest liberator of all time,the one who emancipatedthe largest number of people,was not a military leader or a politicalfigure.He was the Son of God,a man.His vision of mankindinfinitely surpassed the vision of the wisest leader who ever gavethought to man's journey on earth.In him was the spirit of man,the true destiny of peoples.Any hope that ever burned in a man,any ideal that ever seized him,any dream that inspired him foundits reason in this Son of Man,and its support on his shoulders.He alone understood the yearnings of man,yearnings the sourceof which and the outcome of which man himself could not reallyfathom.He understood the nature that cried in man,and he knewwhat it was that called this nature.  \nMan knew He would come on this earth,and he came.Manwatched.A life was being lived,by a child,then by a boy,thenby an adult,and always he was God.Words used over and overfor centuries finally seemed to have meaning when they came from  \nhim.Roads were walked by him and for the first time the roadsseemed to go somewhere.He stopped on hi","cbCaiiikpJhXv7Xa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiikpJhXv7Xa","pdf",1426125,36,"English","#
