Holiday Thoughts

Memorial Day

Memorial Day is coming up this next Monday. This is a time when we stop and think about the men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Here in America, most of the time we tend to take that freedom for granted. Only those who have lived in countries where it is not free really can appreciate what that means.

I have been thinking today about how this holiday can be a reminder of the freedom I have in Jesus Christ. He paid the ultimate price, but then He conquored death and promises eternal life to all who will believe on Him. This freedom cost me nothing, but it was not cheaply bought.

The same can be said of our American freedom that we take for granted. Most of us were born into it and have had it all of our lives. For eternal freedom we must be born again, transformed into righteousness by the blood of Jesus Christ, and set free from sin and death. Let us make this Memorial Day a special one as we remember both our national freedom and our freedom in Christ.

Romans 8:2
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death

I really like this. I have been thinking about God created us. He chose to create people with a choice, which meant He had to choose to have a broken heart to be in fellowship with us. When He created the world, He knew Jesus would have to redeem us. I am overwhelmed by his premeditated choice.

Have a great weekend.

Thank you Lord!

I love your comparison of Jesus paying the price for us to have everlasting life, and the men and women sacrificing for our freedom. Always be thankful! elsalioness:D
