FREEDOM IS NOT FREE
As we stop to remember the men and women who have died while serving in our country’s armed forces, we are profoundly grateful.
“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed.” (John 8:36)
Freedom is not free, and there is always a price to pay, and these brave soldiers paid the ultimate price so that we can live in peace and freedom.
This Memorial Day, we also find ourselves thinking about another kind of memorial, one remembering the sacrifice that brought us freedom in an even deeper way. Jesus said a memorial takes place every time we observe communion and partake of the elements representing Jesus’ body and blood.
Like the servicemen and women we honor today, Jesus fought a battle on our behalf, laying down His life on the cross to purchase our freedom from sin, shame, and death. And now we are promised.
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
This Memorial Day, we pray God will remind you of the incredible sacrifice Jesus made on your behalf. Honor God today and give Him thanks! And remember the amazing freedom Jesus purchased by the blood that He shed on the cross and start experiencing God’s blessings in every area of your life.
Will you take a moment today to give thanks for all your freedoms?
Heavenly Father, on this Memorial Day, I want to thank You for the freedom I have in You and also in our country. Yes, it is in God I trust, and I am ever so thankful for the ones that sacrificed for this great country. I am so thankful for my life and the freedom that Your love has provided. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
