Today, as we reflect on the sacrifices made by so many people sown through the history of our country, let us not forget the One who made the supreme sacrifice for ALL of mankind! Without the shedding of blood we would have no freedom in this country, but more importantly, without Jesus Christ shedding His blood on the Cross we would have no hope of eternal life. It is only because of the blood that Christ shed on the Cross and His finished work of redemption that we even have the possibility of eternal life. If Christ had not willingly sacrificed His life on the Cross for our sins, everything would be in vain and we would utterly be without hope.
However, I am so thankful today that Christ did go to the Cross and that He willingly shed His blood for my sins because of his love for me. I am so thankful that He took the punishment that I deserved and gave me what I did not deserve; mercy and grace. So today as you celebrate Memorial Day and reflect on the sacrifices that our veterans have made for this country, do not forget the sacrifice that the King of Kings and Lord of Lords made for you on the Cross.
Prayer For Today:
Heavenly Father, thank You so much for our country and the men and women who have given their blood to protect us and keep us free. More importantly, thank You for coming to this earth in the form of Jesus Christ and taking my sin upon You on that Cross. You took the punishment that I deserved by taking my place. Thank You Lord for making that sacrifice so that I might be saved and have eternal life all because of Your love for me! In Jesus name, Amen!
