Jesus: More Rules or More Freedom?

"Our perception, our expectation, says MORE JESUS EQUALS MORE RULES AND MORE CONDEMNATION AND LESS FREEDOM. That’s what we believe, so that’s what we expect. The gospel changes and reverses our perspective because the reality is: MORE JESUS EQUALS MORE FREEDOM AND LESS CONDEMNATION. Is it true? Is the gospel about freedom and not rules? Because some people think that the Bible is a really big book of rules. This is just one passage. I could be cherry-picking. I could be pulling one piece out that kind of slipped in somehow to the whole. Is that what’s happening here? Is it true that the gospel brings freedom, not rules?"
