The reading changes at midnight Central Time, and it stays the same all day.
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Plain English
Jesus says, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." Ye means you, and free indeed means truly free, not almost free. He had been speaking about slavery to sin. When the Son sets you free, the freedom is real.
Devotional
A bill you feared for months is marked paid, and the notice in the mailbox no longer owns your stomach. You read it twice because good news can feel unreal. Jesus speaks about a deeper freedom, freedom from sin's ownership. If the Son makes you free, you are free in fact, not only in a hopeful slogan.
