In the history of this world, there have been many people who fought and died for the freedom of their families, friends, and countries. Here in the United States, we are no different. Many untold thousands (perhaps millions or even more) of lives have been willingly offered to protect and serve those who benefited from their sacrifice. So it is appropriate for us to take time today to reflect on those lives, and to be thankful for those lives which have been given for our freedom.
Chiefly, though, we have been given a more enduring freedom, won from our in-dwelling sin, from the power of death, and from the clutches of the evil one which the Bible names as Satan. Through Jesus and the cross, these powers have been overcome. We could not do it ourselves, but rely upon His great victory, the spoils of which He gives to all who believe and follow Him.
"Do this, in remembrance of Me." Jesus
