John8:36
If the Son, &c. The Son of God --heir of all things--who is for ever with God, and who has therefore the right and power to liberate men from their thraldom.
Shall make you free. Shall deliver you from the bondage and dominion of sin.
Free indeed. Truly and really free. You shall be blessed with the most valuable freedom; not from the chains and oppressions of earthly masters and monarchs, but from the bondage of sin.
(g) "the Son" Gal 4:30 (h) "ye shall be free" Isa 61:1
