Letting Christ’s Vision Set Us Free

Who can be born again in Christ but him who has forgiven everyone he sees or thinks of or imagines? ²Who could be set free while he imprisons anyone? ³A jailer is not free, for he is bound together with his prisoner. ⁴He must be sure that he does not escape, and so he spends his time in keeping watch on him. ⁵The bars that limit him become the world in which his jailer lives, along with him. ⁶And it is on his freedom that the way to liberty depends for both of them.

Therefore, hold no one prisoner. ²Release instead of bind, for thus are you made free. ³The way is simple. ⁴Every time you feel a stab of anger, realize you hold a sword above your head. ⁵And it will fall or be averted as you choose to be condemned or free. ⁶Thus does each one who seems to tempt you to be angry represent your savior from the prison house of death. ⁷And so you owe him thanks instead of pain.

Be merciful today. ²The Son of God deserves your mercy. ³It is he who asks that you accept the way to freedom now. ⁴Deny him not. ⁵His Father’s Love for him belongs to you. ⁶Your function here on earth is only to forgive him [Son of God], that you may accept him back as your Identity. ⁷He is as God created him. ⁸And you are what he is. ⁹Forgive him now his sins, and you will see that you are one with him. (A Course in Miracles, W-192.8–10. See also ACIM Lesson 192 Insights.)

We are born again in Christ when we accept our true Identity as God’s one Son. We are as unlimited as God because He shared all that He is with His Son.

But seeing anyone, including ourselves, as a body is attempting to place a limit on God. The ego uses the body and all its senses to reinforce our belief that we are separate and limited. The body’s vulnerability stimulates defensiveness and a need to protect ourselves from harm. Potential danger seems to surround us.

Yet only Love is real. Nothing exists outside of Love. The way to freedom is to accept that we are Love and nothing else. As we learn to accept that the reality of everyone is only Love, we set the world free from fear and guilt. We feel the happiness and peace that come with letting ourselves be the Love we were created to be. Today we call upon the vision of Christ to help us see that we are innocent and accept our place in the home our Father created for us.
