In a few days we will celebrate the freedom that we enjoy and remember those who sacrificed so that we may have our freedom. In a world that is still filled with those people who would like to take away the freedom that we have, I am grateful for the sacrifice that was made on my behalf.

Everytime I remember the sacrifice that was made by those men and women who gave their lives in defense of our nation, I am reminded of the ultimate sacrifice that was made Jesus.

Jesus told his disciples:

"This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that someone lays down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. - John 15:12-15 (ESV)

He gave up his life for his friends. Jesus paid the ultimate price. His faithfulness to His friends spoke deeply about the love that the Father shows us. It is through Jesus that we have freedom! True freedom!

The Truth, Jesus, has set you free! You are free indeed!

Soli Deo Gloria,
