“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
-John 15:13 (NKJV)
Freedom, it seems there is always a price to be paid for freedom. Throughout history, many have laid down their life for our freedom. And while we may not always agree with the politics involved in the military conflicts sending our brothers and sisters into battle, that does not diminish the sacrifice these men and women in the United States military willingly made and make for their country...for you, for me. Our brothers and sisters in the armed forces are willing to die for us and have died for us; for our freedom.
As we here in the U.S. take pause this Memorial Day to remember and honor those who gave their life for our freedom, let us not forget the One who made the ultimate sacrifice and freed us all from the chains of our sin. The Son has made us free and we are free indeed. (John 8:36) So, this Memorial Day may we honor and remember all the men and women who have given their life for us and all our brothers and sisters currently serving in the armed forces. And, may we remember and honor the Lord our God every day for the sacrifice He made for all mankind, that everyone, in the U.S. and throughout the world could be free from the bondage of sin through Him. Thank you Jesus!
