Ring the Freedom Bell!

Leviticus 25:10

The most famous bell in America—a central artifact from the American Revolution—is the Liberty Bell in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The bell was delivered by an English foundry in 1752 and is most famous for cracking and being repaired several times. The bell's name was derived from its inscription: "Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof" (25:10 KJV). The Liberty Bell, it would seem, could have been rung by Jesus at His first official proclamation in the synagogue in Nazareth: "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me . . . to proclaim liberty to the captives . . . to set at liberty those who are oppressed" (Luke 4:18). Those who responded to Jesus' announcement have been free from the moment they believed—free from sin and death.
