Friends, let's pause and remember all of the brave soldiers who gave up their very lives so that we could be free. But let’s also remember their spouses, children, parents and friends who had to say goodbye to their dearly loved one. Their sacrifice was just as great and just as selfless. As they say, Freedom is not Free. It’s true - so much sacrifice has to be made for it. Let me tell you about the One who gave up everything so that we could have ultimate liberty. Jesus gave up the perfect and holy splendor of heaven so that He could become a lowly human. He then laid down His own life in our place! That was my punishment and my nails that He took upon Himself, because of the most tremendous love that has ever been or will ever be known. Thank you, Jesus. Don’t let another day go by without going before the One who offers us true, everlasting freedom. His sacrifice will never be forgotten, and He hasn’t forgotten you for one second, my friend. Jesus loves y’all! *Psalm 77:11*
