We are in the midst of the Memorial Day weekend. It is the time set aside to remember the sacrifice of those who gave their lives to defend the freedoms that we enjoy. While this country is far from perfect, we cannot deny honor to the men and women who gave so much to protect us.
Life should be cherished. People sacrifice much so that others can live long and productive lives. Teachers and medical professionals have put their lives in danger serving the needs of all of us. They are, and should be, honored regularly for their selfless service.
God also has made a sacrifice that gives life to people. He gave His only Son that we may have eternal life. I John 5:11-12 says, “And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.”
The significance of God’s sacrifice is that you must choose to accept it. The sacrifice has been made and you have been offered eternal life. Will you accept God’s gift of eternal life? It is only available in His Son, Jesus Christ.
