She asked him what he was going to do with her. Jesus provides true and complete liberation to man. Paul says, “Freedom is what we have - Christ has set us free! St. He was assassinated in 1865.

There is a popular legend about his early days. Her eyes were filled with contempt on everyone around her.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865), the sixteenth President of U.S.A, was a great philanthropist and champion of human rights and dignity. Jesus redeemed us and made us God’s children {Galatians 4: 3-5}. When the bidding began, Lincoln offered a bid for her. He was disgusted by the sights and sounds of buying and selling of human beings in public. Lincoln told her, “I’m going to set you fully free. You can say and do whatever you want and go anywhere you wish to.” She was hearing such kind words for the first duration.
“Then I’m coming with you!” she said with a smile.

Man was under the slavery of sin. He paid the auctioneer the money and took title to the young woman. Stand, next, as free folks, and do not allow yourselves to become slaves again” {Galatians 5:1}.

He countered others’ bids with larger amounts until he won. She stared at her new master with hatred. His enlarged struggle against slavery led to the amendment of the Constitution, abolishing slavery in the United States of America. He saw a young woman displayed for sale as a slave. Once, Abraham Lincoln happened to see a slave auction. She showed signs of the intense sufferings she encountered all through her life.

    I read several of your posts and looked around your blog and this is great. I am interested in new tools to teach kids stories from the bible. I will be passing your information along. I found this great tool for pre-readers called “This Bible Talks!” by Pamela Fischer. It is really fun and teaches kids in a way that will grab their attention. It is narrated by Michael David McGuire and if you are interested, I purchased it online here: http://www.thisbibletalks.com

    Just thought I would pass it along to spread the word on how to get in touch with our children about the bible.

    God Bless!
