Treasuring Jesus - John 8:31-38

It caught my eye that when Jesus told the Jews that the truth will set them free, they immediately respond that they have NEVER been slaves.  

Sin is like that - it comes with the amazing power of self deception.  "We've never been slaves.  We are sons of Abraham!"  Really?  What about Egypt?  Did ya forget about that 'small' little incident that lasted a mere 400 years? (interesting study on the length of the Hebrew exile - http://www.answersingenesis.org/articles/2010/07/05/israelites-in-egypt)

Lord, please do not let me get entangled in the self-deceiving web of sin.
