This memorial day, I thought I would post briefly about our servicemen and women who have served their country for the sake of freedom and in defense of peace. Today we honor them for their service, their sacrifice, and their courage. It has been my opinion that sometimes in order to make peace, we must defend the weak and seek justice for the defenseless. And so I say this in honor of all who have served, in the words of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ: Blessed are the peacemakers.
It is well to note also that freedom from sin and death also is not free. It required the sacrifice of the one who is blameless to pay the price for our shortfalls. And because of His sacrifice, today we not only enjoy physical and political freedom, but spiritual freedom as well. So this memorial day, in addition to remembering those who have sacrificed of themselves for our freedom from tyranny and oppression, remember the one who sacrificed Himself for our freedom from sin and death.
DH out.
