Memorial Day reminds Americans that our freedoms are not free. I say thank you to our military men and women.

As I think about those who died protecting our freedoms in America, I am reminded of the King who came to free us from servitude to sin and its consequences. Christ did battle with Satan and the children of darkness, ultimately paying price of death on a cruel cross. Jesus voluntarily laid down His life to pay the wages of our sin so we could be saved from wrath and  have eternal life.

Unlike our fallen American soldiers, Jesus rose from His grave, demonstrating His power over sin and death. He now sits on the right hand of the Father in heaven, making intercession for us. Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to indwell those who trust in Him, to seal us, comfort us and guide us as we live for Him. Greater is the Spirit of God within us than the evil one who is in the world.

Our Lord Jesus Christ calls us to carry on the fight as soldiers of the cross, wearing His righteousness while doing battle with sin.
