Root Bound – John 8:31-36
When a plant is root bound, it will eventually die. Its roots need to spread and grow and dig deeper into life. In some ways, there are those who are root bound in religion. They worship traditions and celebrate history. And their faith will wither and die. Jesus calls us to be rooted in nothing but Him, to not be bound by anything that restricts us, and by being rooted in Him, we become free.
