Yesterday we paused to remember those that sacrificed their lives in the service of our country throughout history. These individuals were willing to lay it all on the line for our nation and our freedom. If these individuals had not been willing to make these sacrifices then we would be living under the tyranny of an oppressor nation. As I reflected on these sacrifices, I had a thought. Each Sunday Christians celebrate memorial day. As we come around His table and take communion we remember the one who made the ultimate sacrifice for each of us. Although we were far from perfect God was willing to lay it all on the line for our freedom and eternity. If God would not have been willing to make this sacrifice we would still be forced to live under the tyranny of sin with no hope. As Americans we should be thankful for all those who gave their lives for our freedom. As Christians we should be thankful for the one who gave His life for to free us from sin.
