John 10:14,15 "I am the
good Shepherd...and I will lay down My life for the sheep."
Memorial Day – to some it’s merely the beginning of summer
and to others it’s a solemn day to remember those who have passed from this
life. However, to the war veteran and to the families of fallen soldiers,
Memorial Day carries significance so deep that words cannot express their
hearts.
Their sacrifice follows the example of Jesus Christ laying down His life for our freedom. It's selfless love for others! Notice that in scripture and in military service, the willingness to give up one’s life is not dependent on the worthiness of the people who benefit from the honorable act. "But God showed His great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners." (Romans 5:8)
We are blessed to be living in a free society. May we honor our American soldiers for the liberty we have in this country. May we also give thanks to Almighty God for the freedom we have to spend eternity with Him because of His gift of forgiveness through the death, burial and resurrection of His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
