Galatians 5:1
Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Politicians love freedom. That is why they work so hard to pass legislation to secure more of it for themselves. To be fair, politicians love your freedom too. That is why they want it for themselves and work so hard to preserve it for you in a museum.
Christ is a King who advocates for the freedom of His people. He secured liberty for others by being bound to a cross. He secured life, liberty, and property for others by being killed, accused, and robbed. A verdict of guilty hung Him on a gibbet and as He died His clothes were stolen in plain sight by gambling executioners. He did this all in order to set His people free. If your liberty cost that much, it clearly matters. It is not yours to give and your neighbor's is not yours to take. You ought not vote to give yours away or to take your neighbor's from him. Just because it is politics as usual doesn't keep it from being an unusually bad business.
