2) The Prodigal Son – This story is about a father who went beyond societal norms to show his son freedom and acceptance. Despite the son’s rebellion, the father forgives him and accepts him back with open arms. It’s an example of how love can break the chains that bind a person to sin.
3) Paul’s Escape from Prison – Paul and Silas were locked up in prison for preaching the Gospel, but an earthquake broke their chains and opened the doors of the jail. They were free from their physical bondage, but the story is also symbolic of the spiritual freedom that comes from believing in Jesus Christ.
4) The Woman Caught in Adultery – The scribes and Pharisees presented a woman caught in adultery to Jesus, demanding that she be stoned according to the law. Jesus, however, showed her mercy and forgiveness, setting her free from shame and guilt. It’s a powerful example of how Jesus offers freedom from our past mistakes and sins.
