Freedom isn’t free!
As a retired soldier, Memorial Day is always a special day of remembrance for me. My stepfather and a dear friend, both of whom were also soldiers, lie buried only a few paces apart in Arlington National Cemetery, alongside thousands of our departed comrades. It is good that we occasionally pause to remember those who served our country.
But as we memorialize departed comrades, may we never forget the true price of freedom. No Soldier, Sailor, Airman or Marine died to set mankind free. It was a simple carpenter who walked the shores of Galilee some two thousand years ago. Jesus paid it all!
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13 (NIV)
“For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16: NIV
