1 John 3:16 (NASB) “We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us; and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.”

Today in America we honor the men and women that have made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their family, their friends, and each of us. They paid with their lives even for people they did not know, for people that may or may not be grateful.

I cannot think of a more apt reminder of Christ’s sacrifice than Memorial Day. He gave His life for each of us, whether or not we would choose to accept His gift of salvation, whether or not we would be grateful.

Let’s choose to be grateful!

Isaiah 53:5 (NASB) “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”
