On Memorial Day we remember the ultimate sacrifice that many of our country’s soldiers gave to purchase and maintain our freedom - their lives. It is only fitting in our busy, hectic world that we should stop and honor these brave men and women. The last thing we want to do is to forget the great cost they paid so that we could have freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to peacefully assemble and freedom to bear arms. By observing Memorial Day every year we keep before us the price of these freedoms - their blood.
The first Sunday of each month we celebrate Communion. It is a time of reflection as we think of Jesus, who made the ultimate sacrifice for us - His life. It is because of His death on the cross for our sins that we enjoy freedom from sin and death, freedom from Satan’s control and eternal life. Unlike Memorial Day, Communion was instituted by Jesus, but for much the same purpose - so that we would never forget His sacrifice for us. By observing Communion we keep before us the price of this freedom - Jesus’ blood.
Lord, thank you for the brave men and women who died in order to provide the freedoms that we enjoy in this country. Thank you as well for Jesus’ death on the cross for our sins to provide the freedoms that we enjoy as Your children. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
