Memorial Day

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

We are glad to honor the men and women who have given their lives for our nation. It is the least we can do. We would not be who we are or have what we have were it not for the sacrifices of those who have gone before us. In the Old Testament, Jacob set up Bethel as a memorial of the special occasion when he met the Lord anew and afresh. In the New Testament Jesus commemorated the Lord’s Supper basically as a memorial for the occasion of his sacrificial death for our salvation.

This weekend we remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf. Scripture says there is no greater love than to lay down your life for another. We salute them!
