St Patrick's Day in Montserrat

St Patrick’s Day Celebrations.
As the people of Montserrat gear up to celebrate and are celebrating St Patrick’s Day, there are voices of approval and voices of dissent, and really I see no great merit in joining in the fray. People have a right to celebrate what they want to celebrate and those who do not agree should just stay out of the way.

          As far as the talk of slavery is concerned, there are folks who like to remind folks that they were once slaves. But my question is, who in all humanity, from the beginning of time to now were not or still are slaves in one form or another?
          Jean Jacques Rousseau commented:
“Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. One man thinks himself master of others, but remains more of a slave than they are.”
          Jesus Himself speaks about freedom and by implication slavery. For He says, “And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.”  If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”
The clear statement of fact is, therefore, all who were never set free by the Spirit of Christ are still very much enchained and enslaved.
          I submit, therefore, our freedom is not by emancipation, not by proclamation, not by constitutional declaration, but by the truth which lies in Jesus the Christ.
