It’s the last weekend in May! It’s Memorial Day Weekend! And it’s time to worship!
As we celebrate and thank those who have served our country this weekend may we also never forget the great price that was paid for us by our heavenly savior! May we not only remember but also realize what exactly that sacrifice has brought us: FREEDOM!
16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:a] The old has gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sinb] for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
Galatians 5:16-21
