This Memorial Day let’s remember the forgotten heroes, and what this day is really all about. It’s more than a great cookout , not that that is bad, but it is about sacrifice so that each of us today can have these three things I believe:
- Liberty
- Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free. Gal. 5:1
- Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.2 Cor. 3:17
- Freedom
- Live as free people, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as God’s slaves. I Peter 2:16
- Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.3 For what the law was powerless to do because it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful humanity to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in human flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit. Romans 8:1-4
- Peace
- I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world. John 16:33
- And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Col. 3:15
