John 15:12-14, “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you.”
Men and women today give their lives in defense of liberty. We say that so often that it becomes a cliché. Never should we allow such sacrifice to be seen as a cliché. Each life given is like the life that Jesus gave for us. Jesus gave His life for us in a depth of compassion that cannot be plumbed or measured. We can never merit the devotion or love that God has for us but we can receive His grace and mercy, accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior.
Prayer: Redeemer God, You have loved us from the very Creation. You woke us to this day that wasn’t promised and you saved us through the blood of Your Son Jesus Christ. Help us receive Your love and mercy in love, gratitude and reverence. In Jesus’ Name we pray. Amen.
