Memorial Day

Theme: Memorial Day - A tribute to those who paid the price for our freedom.

Do you know why I brought this flag with me this morning? It is to remind me that this week we celebrate a very special holiday. How many of you know what holiday we celebrate this week? It is called Memorial Day. Memorial Day is a day on which we stop to remember and to honor the men and women who died in military service while fighting to defend the cause of freedom.

We enjoy a lot of freedom in our country.

• We are free to attend church

• we are free to choose what we want to be when we grow up

• we are free to choose where we want to live

• we are free to choose most of the things that affect our daily lives.

Yes, we enjoy our freedom, but that freedom wasn't free. Many courageous men and women gave their lives to pay the price for the freedom that you and I enjoy. These are the ones that we honor this week as we celebrate Memorial Day.

Yes, we enjoy a lot of freedom, but the greatest freedom that we have is the freedom that we have in Christ Jesus. The Bible teaches that the penalty for sin is death, but you and I have been set free from this penalty. We have been set free because Jesus paid the penalty. The Bible tells us that Jesus died to set us free from the penalty of sin. Instead of death, we have been given eternal life. This freedom wasn't free, Jesus paid the price. Scripture: You were bought at a price. So do not become slaves of men. 1 Corinthians 7:23 (NIV) If Jesus sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:36 (NIV)

This week as we celebrate Memorial Day, let us remember to stop and thank God for those who have paid the price for our freedom. Let us also remember to thank God for Jesus, who has set us free from the penalty for sin, because he was willing to pay the price.

Dear Father, thank you for the freedom that we enjoy. We are thankful for those who paid the price for that freedom, but even more important, we thank you for the freedom we have because Jesus was willing to pay the penalty for our sin. Amen.
